Adblocker Zero removes ads and trackers from Safari. No account, no setup, nothing to configure — 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 — you're done in about a minute. WHAT IT BLOCKS • Banner ads, pop-ups, sticky overlays and sponsored clutter • Ad and tracker requests — stopped before they ever load • Trackers that follow you from site to site • Includes defenses against anti-adblock scripts WHY ADBLOCKER ZERO • Truly lightweight: blocking runs on Safari's built-in engine, so there is no heavy background process slowing you down • Private by design: no account, no telemetry, no data collection — your browsing history never leaves your device • Free and open source (MIT license) • Available in 52 languages EVERYDAY CONTROLS • One switch to pause blocking everywhere • A per-site switch to trust sites you want to support • Filter lists stay up to date automatically FOR POWER USERS • "My filters": add your own rules in EasyList-compatible syntax • Manage your trusted-sites list • 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" — 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.

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.
