Safari 瀏覽器專用的擋蓋版廣告延伸插件。目前支援常見的台灣網站,如自由、蘋果、中時、聯合、中央社、NOWnews、新浪、東森、天下、三立、Mobile01、痞客邦、Xuite、T客邦、科技新報等,並且不定期自動更新,並歡迎使用者提報廣告網站。使用 iOS 專用的擋廣告 API,隱私安全無虞。 瀏覽網站時遇到蓋版網站,往往很突然,與內文無關,又很難關閉。感覺就像是前往目的地的途中,遇到不相干的人拉住你,跟你 blah blah blah 推銷個不停,又很難中斷人家,非常煩人。於是將 "blah" 與 "blocker" 合併創出 Blahker 這個名稱,中文音譯為「巴拉剋」。 廣告是許多網站賴以為生的收入來源,所以 Blahker 的目的並不是消除所有的廣告,而只針對那些通常與內文無關又煩人的蓋版廣告。目前 Blahker 已經含括了台灣幾個常見網站的蓋版阻擋規則,未來也將以台灣的網站為主。 Blahker 是開源的,且開放協作。如果你對於參與這個項目有興趣的話,請參考官網 GitHub 之資訊。
