## What is CrocBLOCK?

Wherever you go, the internet is always watching. But it doesn't have to be this way.

CrocBLOCK is an ultra-efficient Safari Extension that guards you by blocking ads, trackers, cookies, popups and other unnecessary resources:

• Say goodbye to those pesky ads, pop ups, and banners.
• Hide annoying cookie pop ups and notices.
• Protect yourself against cunning online trackers and data collectors.
• Load websites up to 4x faster while using up to 35% less data.
• Prevent your device from being used to mine cryptocurrencies.
• Protect your kids by censoring porn websites.
• Whitelist your favourite websites and blacklist the ones you never want to see again.

We're putting you back in control. We don't have any hidden agendas — we don't want to know who you are or what you're up to. Ever!

Please note, for privacy reasons, CrockBLOCK only works with Safari. The internet is an ever-changing beast, and some sites utilise techniques that make blocking next to impossible. From time to time, you may still see the occasional ad.

Let's beat the big guys and get our privacy back for good!

### 5/5 — Needs some fixes

*2024-12-11*

1. AdBlocking

2. Anti Phishing not working

3. Cryptocurrency not working

4. Few others not working

Would you be able to fix this?

Other than that, it's great.

### 5/5 — PERFECT!!!

*2024-08-30*

It’s FREE to block ads, and it WORKS! If you want other features, there’s an optional paid version. But just to have ads blocked, it’s FREE, and it works AMAZINGLY! Perfect perfect perfect, I’d give it a hundred stars if I could!

### 1/5 — Hmm

*2024-08-13*

How do you have a 5 star rating with no reviews?

**Developer response:** There’s a good chance that there are no reviews from the country you reside in, and this rating has been formed collectively from reviews in other countries. Disappointing that this is the reason a 1* review is given and a comment that is completely unrelated to the app itself.

### 5/5 — Best App!

*2024-02-07*

I love it, but it seems that this app is abandoned, I wish there is a support to contact with to get updates for this app.

### 5/5 — Simple and does as it should!

*2022-01-25*

Tried several different ad blockers but most are just way too expensive and complicated! This is definitely the most straight forward blocker I have tried and for the price it feels like an absolute steal!
