Just enough and out of the way of the user!

Simple to use and not constantly annoying!
If it misses some-things how am I supposed to know these things. Im not a programmer!
Sales pitch of other software relies on us dummies!!!! Some webpage content can not be blocked so don’t bash this product unless you understand this concept! Looking at you Youtube! Lol..

Thanks Alexander for this simple and effective software.

Best available option

I’ve used uBlock lite, Wipr2 and some other options. This is currently the best option for adblocking on iOS and the closest to the functionality of uBlock Origin on desktop. Element hider actually works!

What are the key features of wBlock?

Key features include userscript support for custom web enhancements, lightning-fast performance with minimal RAM usage, complete control over blocking settings on a per-site basis, a privacy-first design that operates within Safari's API, and comprehensive protection using updated filter lists.

How does wBlock protect my privacy?

wBlock is designed with privacy as a top priority. It runs entirely within Safari's content blocking API, meaning it does not collect any of your data or track your browsing activity. There are no system-level extensions that could monitor your online behavior, ensuring your privacy remains yours.

What kind of websites can wBlock block ads on?

wBlock uses comprehensive filter lists, including those from AdGuard, to block ads and trackers across virtually every website you visit. You can also add custom filter lists to fine-tune protection and toggle blocking on individual sites with a single click.
