ShieldKit removes ads, trackers, cookie banners, and dangerous hosts from Safari, and the blocking part is free β€” no account, no trial, no subscription. WHAT IT BLOCKS β€’ Ads β€” banners, pop-ups, and ad networks, stopped before a single byte is downloaded β€’ Trackers β€” the analytics scripts that follow you from site to site β€’ Cookie banners β€” the consent pop-ups you dismiss on every new site β€’ Malware and phishing β€” known dangerous hosts never open All four categories are on inside ShieldKit from the start, and none of them costs anything. iOS ships Safari extensions switched off, so the one step left to you is turning ShieldKit's extensions on in Settings β€Ί Safari β€Ί Extensions β€” the app walks you through it, once. After that, pages load faster, use less data, and drain less battery, because anything blocked is never downloaded in the first place. SEE FOR YOURSELF Safari never tells an app what it blocked, so ShieldKit does not put a made-up running total on your screen. Instead, it shows you something you can check: type in any site, and ShieldKit loads the page, lists every third-party host that page reaches out to, and names exactly which of them your rules block. BUILT TO BE HONEST β€’ Nothing about your browsing leaves your device β€” no servers, no accounts, no analytics β€’ About 135,000 rules, split across separate Safari extensions and rebuilt right on your device β€’ Filter lists come only from permissively licensed sources, and every one is credited inside the app PREMIUM: TWO WAYS TO BUY Blocking stays free, and that is not going to change. Premium adds the two strictest blocking levels, Strict and Ultra, plus more control: an allow list for the sites you would rather leave untouched, rules of your own, the β€œAnnoyances” filter category β€” social widgets, chat bubbles, floating bars, and the rest of the page clutter that is not advertising β€” and iCloud sync across your devices. There are two ways to buy, and both unlock exactly the same features. One is an auto-renewable subscription: it renews every year until you cancel it. The other is a one-time purchase: you pay once, and it never renews. Take whichever one suits you. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage the subscription or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings.
