SafaShield vs Ad Zap

SafaShield is a Safari content blocker app developed by NoVirusThanks Company Srl that was created to improve Safari web browsing security by blocking potentially suspicious and malicious domains. We provide built-in options to block most abused TLDs (such as domains that end in .top or .xyz), dynamic DNS domains, free hosting domains, internationalized domains, unsecure connections, and more. We added also options to protect the user's privacy by blocking ads and web trackers. Other useful features you can find aboard are the possibility to whitelist a domain so it will never be blocked, allow ads on websites you trust and that you visit frequently to support their work, block custom domain names and also custom domain TLDs (such as .it or .info). The main focus of this app is to reduce the attack surface by improving the Safari web browsing security with smart content blocking rules.

A simple ad blocking app for Safari on iOS that: • blocks most ads and trackers using a single extension, with no extensive configuration required • does not slow down page loads or otherwise interfere with functionality • preserves user privacy No data is collected or sent off the device. No special permissions are required. Unlike other ad blocking apps, Ad Zap is designed to be as simple as possible. After the initial setup, you can forget about the app and let it do it's thing in the background. Please note, this app does NOT block ads outside of Safari. If for some reason you need to disable Ad Zap, you have two options. In Safari, tap the "aA" icon in the address bar, then choose either: 1) Turn off Content Blockers: this will disable Ad Zap for this specific page, for this browser session only. 2) Website Settings, then disable Use Content Blockers: this will disable Ad Zap for the entire site, from now on. Ad Zap supports iOS 15 and above.
