Stop ads, protect your privacy, and take back your screen. AdBlocker VPN combines three layers of protection: DNS-level blocking that stops ads in every app, a private, encrypted VPN, and Safari protection that cleans up what's left — including YouTube video ads. BLOCK ADS EVERYWHERE The local DNS filter blocks ads, trackers, pop-ups, and banners before they're even downloaded — in every browser and inside your apps. No configuration, no root, no per-site setup. One tap and they're gone. YOUTUBE WITHOUT THE ADS Turn on Safari Protection and watch YouTube in Safari with no video ads, no "Sponsored" posts, and no ad overlays. Powered by continuously updated filter lists (EasyList) plus rules tuned by us for YouTube, Reddit, and other major sites. PRIVATE VPN — SAFE ON ANY NETWORK Route your traffic through an encrypted tunnel to keep it away from snooping on public Wi-Fi and untrusted networks. Your browsing stays yours. WHAT ADBLOCKER VPN BLOCKS • Video ads, banners, and text ads • Interstitials, rich media, and floating ads • Pop-ups and pop-unders • Third-party trackers and analytics • Known malware, adware, and phishing domains WHY YOU'LL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE • Pages load faster because ads never download • Save mobile data and battery • Fewer distractions, cleaner reading • Your own rules: whitelist sites you want to support, block extra domains with one tap EASY BY DESIGN • One-touch setup — no technical knowledge needed • Works on iPhone and iPad • Filter lists update automatically every day Terms of Use & Privacy Policy: https://dajax.com/privacy_policy_adb.html
RedPing SOS
Read full descriptionHide full description
RedPing SOS is an advanced personal safety app built for real-world emergencies, everyday readiness, and trusted-contact coordination on iPhone and iPad. In distress situations, people may not be able to explain who they are, where they are, or what is happening. RedPing SOS is designed for those moments. It helps users act quickly, share critical context, and keep trusted contacts informed when time, clarity, and communication are limited. HOW IT WORKS Manual SOS is intentional and designed to reduce false alarms: • Press and hold SOS for 5 seconds to activate • Follow a live emergency session view in-app • Share location context and movement updates with trusted contacts • Keep emergency coordination visible while the incident is active On iPhone, manual SOS can open Apple Messages with a prefilled alert so the user can complete carrier SMS by tapping Send. CORE SAFETY CAPABILITIES • Manual SOS with deliberate 5-second hold activation • Live emergency-session visibility and status tracking • Trusted-contact alerting with network-first delivery • SMS-first outreach path where supported • Live breadcrumb-style movement updates during active incidents • Offline-aware behavior with queued delivery and reconnect follow-through • RedPing Help flows for non-SOS urgent support scenarios (supported plans) • Family Check-In Ping for welfare check coordination (supported plans) ADVANCED PROTECTION (SUPPORTED PLANS) RedPing SOS includes Advance Crash and Fall Detection (ACFD) on supported plans. If a potential serious event is detected, the app can enter a verification and escalation flow designed for situations where the user may be injured, disoriented, or unable to respond quickly. Last Ping adds additional failsafe escalation support for missed incidents, prolonged inactivity, and battery-critical scenarios. APPLE WATCH COMPANION On iPhone, the paired Apple Watch companion can: • Sync with the phone • Reflect allowed ACFD state • Request SOS through the phone-led workflow The watch companion is not a standalone emergency dispatch system. FOR FAMILIES AND ORGANIZATIONS RedPing SOS is built to support coordinated safety response across individuals, families, and organizations. In high-stress events or larger incidents, shared context and faster follow-through can improve coordination for both trusted contacts and authorized responders where available. IMPORTANT RedPing SOS does not replace local emergency services. It does not automatically dial emergency numbers. Feature availability and behavior may depend on plan level, device support, permissions, carrier coverage, and network conditions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RedPing SOS at none against AdBlocker's 4. RedPing SOS also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). AdBlocker's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
