YOUR BROWSING HISTORY STAYS OFF ADZERO SERVERS AdZero contains no advertising or analytics SDK. It does not send visited website addresses, search terms or browsing history to AdZero servers. Settings and blocking statistics stay on your device. Filter updates download from a GitHub CDN. If you enable encrypted DNS, DNS queries go to your selected provider and its privacy policy applies. BEFORE YOU START β’ Enable the AdZero content blockers and Safari helper in iOS Settings, then grant the necessary website permissions. The app walks you through setup. β’ Safari protection does not remove every advertisement inside other apps. β’ Blocking results vary by website and advertising method. If a website does not work as expected, add it to your exceptions. β’ DNS protection is optional and does not guarantee that every threat will be blocked. Need help?

Adblocker Zero removes ads and trackers from Safari. No account, no setup, nothing to configure β turn it on once and pages immediately load cleaner, faster and more private. EASY TO TURN ON A friendly welcome screen walks you through enabling the extension in Safari and confirms when everything is working β you're done in about a minute. WHAT IT BLOCKS β’ Banner ads, pop-ups, sticky overlays and sponsored clutter β’ Ad and tracker requests β stopped before they ever load β’ Trackers that follow you from site to site β’ Includes defenses against anti-adblock scripts WHY ADBLOCKER ZERO β’ Truly lightweight: blocking runs on Safari's built-in engine, so there is no heavy background process slowing you down β’ Private by design: no account, no telemetry, no data collection β your browsing history never leaves your device β’ Free and open source (MIT license) β’ Available in 52 languages EVERYDAY CONTROLS β’ One switch to pause blocking everywhere β’ A per-site switch to trust sites you want to support β’ Filter lists stay up to date automatically FOR POWER USERS β’ "My filters": add your own rules in EasyList-compatible syntax β’ Manage your trusted-sites list β’ Built on proven, community-maintained filter lists: EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's list and more PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED Safari will warn that the extension can "read and alter webpages" β that's Apple's standard wording, shown for every ad blocker. Adblocker Zero uses that access for exactly one thing: blocking ad and tracker requests and hiding ad elements on the page. It collects nothing and sends nothing; the only network requests it makes are the downloads of the public filter lists. Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
