AdsBlockers vs Scroll in Peace

AdsBlockers is a device-wide ad and tracker blocker for iPhone and iPad. It works at the DNS level, so ads are blocked system-wide — in apps, browsers, and anywhere else your device makes network requests. How it works When an app on your device tries to resolve a domain name (like a tracking or ad-serving server), the DNS proxy checks it against locally stored blocklists. If the domain is blocked, the request is silently dropped — the ad never loads. If it's allowed, the query is forwarded to your chosen DNS resolver over encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS. The included Safari content blocker adds a second layer of protection specifically for web browsing inside Safari, catching cosmetic and path-level ad rules that DNS-only blocking can't reach. What's included — Filter lists from EasyList, EasyPrivacy, StevenBlack hosts, OISD, AdGuard DNS filter, and 1Hosts Lite. Toggle each list on or off independently. — Custom allowlist and blocklist for per-domain control. — Pause protection temporarily (or until you turn it back on). — Kill switch stops all internet if the DNS filter loses resolver access, preventing unfiltered traffic. — Daily blocked-count charts and a 7-day activity log on the Activity screen. Your privacy Nothing leaves your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no server logs. The only third-party DNS resolver you interact with is the one you choose — Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, or AdGuard DNS. Queries are encrypted by default via DNS-over-HTTPS. The app cannot see your browsing content, search history, usernames, or passwords — only the domain names in DNS queries, and only those that were blocked appear in the local activity log (kept for 90 days). Requirements iOS 18 or later. A physical iPhone is required to use the DNS proxy; the Safari content blocker works on iPad without one.

Scroll in Peace helps reduce supported advertising, tracking requests, and page clutter in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. EasyList and EasyPrivacy filters are processed on your device and installed through separate Safari content blockers for Ads & Cleanup and Privacy. You can pause filtering, refresh the maintained lists, and see clear rule and update status inside the app. Optional controls can hide supported cookie banners and nag screens. Caregiver Shield adds a small set of curated protections against deceptive browser-update and notification prompts. Advanced Protection activates recognized, visible, enabled YouTube Skip Ad controls. It does not seek through video, activate unavailable controls, or guarantee removal of every advertisement. Scroll in Peace does not require an account and does not send your browsing history or local diagnostics to the developer. Settings and filtering data stay on your device. Filter updates connect directly to the list provider, as explained in the privacy policy. This edition protects Safari. Desktop Chrome, Edge, and Firefox use separate extension editions. Installing the Safari app does not activate blocking in those browsers on iPhone or iPad.
