• Added an OLED background option for Dark Reader. • Added Persian Blocker and restored Fanboy's Social Blocking List with a Safari-optimized source. • Large filter lists can be split across content blockers, and filter rows now show applied rule counts. • Apply progress and update checks now appear in banners instead of interrupting the list. • Restored the cosmetic filtering site-scope picker and fixed URL-cleaning exceptions in Safari. • Fixed filter confirmation actions and restored catalog order for existing users. • Fixed userscripts enabled in the app after the Safari extension had already loaded. • Added a warning about the fingerprinting tradeoff of Global Privacy Control and a one-time warning for HaGeZi lists. • Improved update catch-up, iOS info sheets, and Japanese and Montenegrin translations.

the best adblocker i’ve ever used

i really appreciate the fact that this is the only safari adblocker that gives you granular control while also being completely free (unlike adguard, which gives you granular control but you need to pay to unlock all of its features, ublock origin lite, which is free but you don’t have very much control over it, and wipr 2, which is paid and you have the least customizability out of all of the options, and is really a ripoff in my opinion). i also find it really convenient that you can also add userscripts and userstyles with this app so i don’t need separate apps for that anymore

Blows other ad blockers away!

Seriously, this is THE BEST AD BLOCKER I’ve ever used. I can’t even list another out there that’s so effective and such a wonderful, intuitive, and easy-to-use design and interface. Well done, Alexander Skula! Thank you so much for your hard work!

Although, now I’m a little too aware of how none of the options for Chromium-based browsers even slightly compare to this lol. Any future plans to expand this to other browsers?

Number #1 and only add-on needed for making safari perfect

Not only this is best ad block ever i have tested, it also brings best dark reader mode i have tried, and it's completely free and no ads
I just can't believe, i have best wishes for it's developers ❤️🌺

Absolute Garbage

Jack of all trades, master of none. This app is trying to do far too much. It’s trying to do it all, but does everything subpar. It also has placeholders where ads should be instead of removing the blocks entirely. Maybe this app will get better, but it’s throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. There’s a reason more streamlined apps like Wipr don’t have ten trillion rules. It keeps ad blocking streamlined which also makes it insanely zippy and fast. This app is just a bloated mess and the astronomical amount of rules are actually hurting the app, not making it better.

Best ad-blocker for apple devices

After trying a variety of other ad blockers, including UBO lite, Adguard, others, I just couldn’t find anything I was satisfied with. Wblock is the one! It is a native Apple/Safari extension, works across all your Apple devices, and uses your iCloud to sync your extension settings to all devices. That is a great feature in itself that most ad blockers don’t have. Wblock is also is fast and high performance, works out of the box if you’re an ordinary user, can be customized with powerful scripts/tweaks per website if you’re tech savvy, protects your privacy, and is highly effective at its main job of blocking intrusive content. Bravo to the developers for this well done effort.
