We think that 1Blocker is an essential app for anyone who uses Safari.An independent team of two app developers is working on 1Blocker. We protect you from online tracking, data collectors, and help you be focused on important things. What does 1Blocker do? 1Blocker is the fastest and most powerful Safari content blocker that improves your browsing experience by blocking ads, trackers, and other unwanted content, such as popups, cookie notices, comments, and more.1Blocker is secure by design - we don't track the sites you visit. Here's how to set it up and use if for safer, faster internet browsing. 1Blocker X adds 350,000 rules, country-based ad blockers, and a whole new design. Others would probably be upset if it switched to a subscription model. I expect some people will be upset by the fact that 1Blocker X is a new paid app. The old version will continue to be available under the name 1Blocker Legacy and, according to its developers, its rules will continue to be updated. For example, if you installed 1Blocker on iOS, you can download the macOS version from the Mac App Store under the same Apple ID and iCloud ID. As soon as you are all set on your iOS or macOS device, you can start using 1Blocker on more devices for free. We work hard to build a top-class app which relies on Apple's native tools and thousands of open-source filter rules to block unwanted content in Safari. 1Blocker Is Going Free Our mission is to make the Internet a better and safer place for iPhone, iPad and Mac users. As you might already know, we have launched a major update of 1Blocker, making it much more powerful and adding new advanced features. I don’t know how much Apple’s “endorsement” here actually means.Existing customers who purchased 1Blocker (either on iOS or macOS) or upgraded to Premium in Legacy can get the new 1Blocker for free, and this article will guide you through this process. Safari claims it has access to all webpages and all information they display to me, so I imagine this could be quite a privacy nightmare if the dev isn’t trustworthy. But again, it’s free so I have no idea how seriously those guys take the user’s privacy or how they block. It’s got all the stuff I think I’d need and it appears to be simple and work well. It’s an extension for Safari actually being advertised on Apple’s Safari extensions website. On the Mac she’s using AdGuard with Safari. Last update was a year ago so no idea if it’s sill being developed/maintained. It’s free too, so I’m not sure they’re not selling me or my data, let alone allowing some ads to be displayed (for revenue obviously). From what I can tell it also offers support for whitelisting, but there does not appear to be a way to quickly activate/deactivate while browsing. It’s very simple to use and it can load different language blockers which is nice if you also frequent a lot of foreign websites. On the iPhone she has AdBlock (by BetaFish Inc). I bet there are actually browsers out there with good built-in ad blocking, but since Apple doesn’t let you chose another alternate browser as default on iOS, my main interest is in using Safari. Yes, the original question pertains to Safari.
