Trackers follow you everywhere — in apps, browsers, and emails — building profiles that advertisers and data brokers sell, and AI-powered attackers weaponize. Tracker Protection stops them. HOW IT WORKS Tracker Protection runs at the DNS layer. Every domain your device tries to look up routes through our encrypted DNS resolver. So every time an app or website tries to connect to a known tracker, our technology blocks the connection before the tracker can do anything. No scripts run. No data leaves. No profile gets built. — Blocks thousands of tracker domains before they collect your data — Encrypts every DNS lookup so your ISP, carrier, and Wi-Fi network can't see what sites and apps you're using — Works system-wide: every app, every browser, every email client on your device FREE — Default tracker blocking, always on — Encrypted DNS for every lookup PREMIUM Everything in Free, plus: — Activity dashboard: see what was blocked, on which sites — Per-vendor controls — Facebook, Google, Amazon, TikTok, Snapchat — choose protection level for each — Block email tracking pixels — Block fingerprinting scripts — Block cryptomining WHY DISCONNECT — No logs. We don't see, store, or sell your data. Ever. — Not a VPN. No server list, no sign-in, no slowdowns. — Built by Disconnect, the industry standard for tracker protection. Our technology powers tracker blocking in Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge to help protect 350M+ users worldwide. — Pages load up to 2.4× faster when trackers aren't dragging them down. — Awards: SXSW Interactive Innovation Award (Privacy & Security), Popular Science Best of What's New, The New York Times' favorite privacy app. ONCE ON, IT STAYS ON After install, Tracker Protection runs in the background. Close the app and use your device normally — protection stays active across every app, browser, and email client.

AI Off
Read full descriptionHide full description
AI Off is a Safari extension that hides AI features added to the websites you use. Keep the page. Put the prompts, sidebars, and summaries out of the way. It is free. There is no account and no trial timer. Choose from four levels: 1. Hide AI features. Remove supported AI answers in search, writing prompts, sidebars, and other AI controls inside web pages. 2. Quiet the AI conversation. Also collapse posts, headlines, videos, and ads that match the AI word list into a gray bar. Tap Show to read one. 3. Hide AI-made content. Also hide images that declare AI generation, known AI content farms, and posts the platform labels as AI-made. This uses labels and lists. It cannot identify every piece of AI content. 4. Blackout. Also block listed AI services in Safari, including chatbots and generators. Choose this level deliberately. Levels 1 to 3 leave chatbots alone. Every decision comes from a readable rule, word list, selector, domain list, or label. AI Off contains no AI. It does not detect, judge, or learn. Pause on a site, pause for 15 minutes, or flip the switch back. There is no telemetry and no data collection. Signed rules update without an app update. Level 3 may also fetch lists and image files to read labels. Every request is listed on the privacy page. To turn it on: open Settings, Apps, Safari, Extensions, AI Off, and allow it. Safari asks which websites AI Off may work on; it can only hide AI on sites you allow. AI Off works inside Safari. It does not change other apps or the AI features built into the device. Rules can miss targets. Pause AI Off on a site if a page looks wrong. The code and rules are open source under the MIT license.

Verdict
