FAQ

What does Handblock do?

Handblock is an advanced content blocker designed for Safari on iPhone and iPad. It effectively blocks ads, tracking URLs, and cookies, providing a cleaner and faster browsing experience. It also offers features like whitelisting and blacklisting sites, along with parental controls.

How does Handblock improve browsing speed and battery life?

By blocking ads and other unwanted content, Handblock reduces the amount of data that needs to be downloaded and processed by Safari. This leads to significantly faster page load times, with reported increases of up to 5X. The reduced data processing also conserves device power, potentially saving up to 22% of battery life.

Is Handblock free to use?

Yes, Handblock is available for free. The application does not require any payment to download or use its core features. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements within the app itself.

How do I set up Handblock?

Handblock installs directly within Safari and requires no additional complex setup. Once installed, you can access its settings to customize your blocking preferences, such as whitelisting trusted websites or blacklisting specific sites you wish to block content from.

Can I whitelist specific websites with Handblock?

Yes, Handblock allows you to whitelist your favorite websites. This means that even if a site contains content that would typically be blocked, it will be allowed to display fully when you visit it. This feature ensures you don't miss out on content from sites you trust.
