Ad-block Browser is a fast, private web browser that stops ads, popups and trackers before they load. Pages open clean and quiet — no banners, no video ads, no cookie walls — and the shield in the address bar counts everything blocked, in real time. KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS: ‣ Powerful Ad Blocking: 139,000+ filter rules from EasyList, EasyPrivacy and uBlock Origin lists — updated automatically — remove ads, popups and video ads across the web. ‣ Tracking Protection: Trackers are cut off before they see you. What you browse stays on your device. ‣ Cookie Banners, Gone: Annoying consent walls are hidden automatically, so you can just read. ‣ Tab Groups: Sort tabs into named, colored groups and drag them into order — like on desktop. ‣ Private Mode: Private tabs save no history, and cookies vanish the moment the tab closes. ‣ iCloud Sync: History, bookmarks and settings stay in sync on every device signed in to your iCloud. ‣ Made for iPad: Desktop-class sites by default, all four orientations, columns and popovers. ‣ Quick Actions Widget: Search the web or jump into a private tab right from your Home Screen. ‣ Your Rules: Trust a site with one tap to turn the shield off just for it — and support the creators you choose. PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST: Blocking runs entirely on your device. Ad-block Browser does not collect, store or share your browsing history — no URL, host or search query ever reaches our servers.
