The most advanced ad blocking extension for Safari

Free and open source, highly customizable and lightning fast ad blocking extension.

AdGuard for Safari

Ad blocking extensions for Safari are having hard time since Apple started to force everyone to use the new SDK. AdGuard extension is supposed to bring back the high quality ad blocking back to Safari.

Unlike other major ad blockers, AdGuard provides some extra features you are used to have with the traditional (now deprecated) extensions:

• Managing protection from Safari
• Choose among popular filter subscription
• Custom filters
• Creating your own filtering rules
• Manual blocking tool
• Allowlisting websites

AdGuard for Safari is based on the Safari native content blocking API, which makes it lightning fast, but somewhat limited in capabilities. For instance, Safari limits the number of rules a content blocker can have.

Better yet, there is a full-fledged AdGuard for Mac

With all above said, there is a solution that is even more effective than AG Safari extension. I mean, of course, AdGuard for Mac . It can:

• filter your traffic in all browsers and apps on your Mac
• have an unlimited number of filter rules
• provide a better filtering quality (due to the lack of browser API restrictions)

You can try it out for free .

Marty_Macfly said: Hi All, My M1 MBA I've been having issues with ADGUARD with safari. (Crashes, sluggishness and battery.) I've turn't it off recently, to see if it really is ADGUARD that is causing my MBA to pink screen crash/restart, on top of the weird battery behaviour and sluggish safari. Give it a week and I'll be able to definitely say if that's the case hopefully. Shame its turn't off though, Youtube on safari isn now coming up with a ton of adverts all of a sudden I just checked, and the ADGUARD app on the MacBook is not a native M1 app, but needs to run through rosetta. View attachment 1750311 3 Questions: Q1) Ad Blocker - Are there any native apps out there I can use? Q2) Is there any way to identify before downloading? The App Store descriptions can be very vague marketing blurb. Q3) Are there any Ad Blockers you have been using on M1 MacBooks, that have been behaving themselves ok? Hope you cn advise Martin Click to expand...

I have been using Adblock pro and it seems to work ok, not sure if it is AS or not but it seems to work and doesn't seem to slow down the MacBook Air any.  

macrumors 604

If it is for your home location just install a Pi-Hole as your DNS server. Then every device is ad-free, and pages will load and execute faster.  

Another great alternative is a DNS service called NextDNS ( https://nextdns.io )  

AdBlock Pro seems to be the lowest system resource ad blocker for Safari. It is also native. It has been updated to bypass the "white-screen skip ads" thing on YouTube, which is great!

I'll throw in another vote for 1Blocker. It's a native app for the M1, and as far as I can tell uses minimal resources. I've been using it for a couple years on all my Mac's and my iPhone and iPad.  

macrumors 6502

Just use Brave Browser. Ad blocking included.  

I am a paid user of AdGuard on my M1 Mac, and I also run AdGuard Home on a Raspberry Pi4 on my network and have none of these issues.

I use Wipr, I think it cost like $2, the dev looks like a nice person, Wipr itself is Apple Silicon native, and it doesn't allow "inobtrusive ads".

Be good to know for definite that it is ADGUARD in my case that is causing my M1 MBA to pink screen crash on a regular basis.

Contact AdGuard support. They’re very helpful and friendly. It should be working fine on the M1.

Little Snitch with Peter Lowe’s block list works pretty well for me on my MacBook Pro M1. That means you don’t have a browser extension, which helps your browser fingerprint be less unique.

Ka-block! is native  

Any latest Chromium (Edge, Brave or Chrome) or Firefox browsers are M1, and have uBlock origin extension I used AdGuard extension for years and switched to uBlock recently. UBlock has everything that AdGuard has - but its open source and have some nice touches on top. Next to adblocking - these two are great for modifying the looks of websites with block elements features. It further cleans-up the pages and speeds the loading times.. Purely down to personal preferences..

Ka-Block! is native and works like a charm. Unobtrusive, lightweight, and very effective. I tried various other blockers (AdGuard, 1Blocker, Ghostery) and found all of them either annoyng (AdGuard), overpriced (AdGuard and 1Blocker require a monthly subscription), or ineffective (Ghostery). I wouldn't mind paying for an ad blocker (Wipr comes to mind) but I am not going to sign up for a monthly subscription. That's a hard no. A very very hard no.

What Is The Best Ad Blocker For Safari

• Software & Applications
• Browsers & Extensions

Introduction

In today's digital age, web browsing has become an integral part of our daily lives. Whether it's for work, entertainment, or staying informed, we rely on web browsers to access a wealth of information. However, the online experience can often be disrupted by intrusive advertisements that not only hinder the browsing flow but also compromise user privacy and security. This is where ad blockers come into play.

Ad blockers are browser extensions or software tools designed to filter out and block various forms of online advertisements, including pop-ups, banners, and video ads. By doing so, they aim to provide users with a cleaner, faster, and more secure browsing experience. When it comes to Safari, Apple's native web browser , users have several options to choose from, including built-in content blockers and third-party ad blockers.

In this article, we will explore the best ad blockers for Safari, shedding light on the built-in content blockers provided by Apple and the third-party solutions available in the App Store. Additionally, we will delve into the key features to consider when selecting an ad blocker, empowering you to make an informed decision that aligns with your browsing preferences and privacy concerns. So, whether you're a casual internet surfer or a power user, understanding the landscape of ad blockers for Safari will undoubtedly enhance your browsing experience and protect your online privacy. Let's dive in and discover the optimal ad blocking solution for your Safari browsing needs.

Built-in Safari Content Blockers

Safari, Apple's native web browser, comes equipped with built-in content blockers that offer a basic level of ad blocking functionality. These content blockers are designed to enhance the browsing experience by reducing the visibility of intrusive ads and preventing certain types of tracking. The primary purpose of these built-in blockers is to improve page loading times and protect user privacy while browsing the web.

One of the key advantages of utilizing Safari's built-in content blockers is their seamless integration with the browser, ensuring a smooth and efficient ad blocking experience without the need to install additional third-party extensions. These blockers work in the background, automatically filtering out known ad domains and preventing them from loading on web pages. This results in a cleaner and less cluttered browsing environment, allowing users to focus on the content they wish to consume without being bombarded by irrelevant or disruptive advertisements.

Furthermore, Safari's content blockers are designed to mitigate the impact of tracking technologies commonly employed by advertisers and third-party entities. By limiting the ability of these trackers to gather user data and behavior, Safari users can enjoy a heightened level of privacy and security while navigating the internet. This aligns with Apple's commitment to prioritizing user privacy and safeguarding personal information from unauthorized tracking and data collection practices.

It's important to note that while Safari's built-in content blockers offer a degree of ad blocking and privacy protection, they may not provide the same level of customization and advanced features found in third-party ad blockers. Users seeking more comprehensive ad blocking capabilities, such as the ability to create custom filter lists, block specific elements on web pages, or access detailed statistics on blocked content, may find that third-party ad blockers better cater to their needs.

In summary, Safari's built-in content blockers serve as a foundational layer of ad blocking and privacy protection within the browser. They offer a streamlined approach to reducing the presence of ads and curtailing tracking activities, contributing to a more pleasant and secure browsing experience for Safari users. However, individuals with specific preferences for advanced ad blocking features and customization options may opt to explore third-party ad blockers available in the App Store to further tailor their browsing environment to their liking.

Third-Party Ad Blockers for Safari

In addition to Safari's native content blockers, users have the option to augment their ad blocking capabilities by leveraging third-party ad blockers available in the App Store. These third-party solutions offer a diverse range of features and customization options, catering to the varying needs and preferences of Safari users. By integrating these ad blockers into Safari, users can further enhance their browsing experience, fortify their privacy, and gain greater control over the types of content displayed during their online sessions.

One of the primary advantages of third-party ad blockers for Safari is the extensive array of filtering options they provide. These ad blockers empower users to fine-tune their ad blocking preferences, allowing them to create custom filter lists, block specific ad formats, and even target elements within web pages that are not effectively addressed by Safari's built-in content blockers. This level of granularity enables users to tailor their ad blocking settings to align with their individual preferences and browsing habits, resulting in a more personalized and refined ad blocking experience.

Furthermore, many third-party ad blockers for Safari offer advanced privacy protection features that extend beyond basic ad blocking functionality. These features may include the ability to block tracking scripts, prevent the execution of malicious code, and safeguard against online threats such as malware and phishing attempts. By integrating these comprehensive privacy protection measures, users can navigate the web with heightened confidence, knowing that their online activities are shielded from potential security risks and intrusive tracking technologies.

Additionally, some third-party ad blockers provide users with detailed insights and statistics related to their browsing experience. These insights may encompass metrics such as the number of ads blocked, the types of ads encountered, and the overall impact of the ad blocker on page loading times. By gaining visibility into the effectiveness of the ad blocker, users can gauge the tangible benefits it brings to their browsing sessions, reinforcing the value of integrating third-party ad blockers into their Safari environment.

It's important to note that the availability of third-party ad blockers in the App Store presents users with a diverse selection of options, each offering unique features and approaches to ad blocking. As such, individuals seeking to leverage third-party ad blockers for Safari are encouraged to explore the available options, assess their feature sets, and select a solution that best aligns with their specific ad blocking requirements and privacy preferences.

In summary, third-party ad blockers for Safari serve as valuable extensions that complement Safari's built-in content blockers, offering users enhanced customization, advanced privacy protection, and detailed insights into their ad blocking activities. By incorporating these third-party solutions into their browsing arsenal, Safari users can elevate their online experience, mitigate the impact of intrusive ads, and fortify their privacy and security while navigating the digital landscape.

Features to Consider When Choosing an Ad Blocker

When evaluating ad blockers for Safari, it's essential to consider a range of features that can significantly impact the effectiveness and user experience of the chosen solution. By carefully assessing these features, users can make informed decisions that align with their browsing preferences, privacy concerns, and overall ad blocking requirements.

1. Customization Options

An ideal ad blocker should offer robust customization options, allowing users to tailor their ad blocking settings to suit their individual preferences. This may include the ability to create custom filter lists, block specific ad formats, and selectively enable or disable ad blocking on certain websites. Customization empowers users to fine-tune their ad blocking experience, ensuring that it aligns with their unique browsing habits and content consumption preferences.

2. Privacy Protection

Beyond ad blocking, a comprehensive ad blocker should prioritize user privacy by incorporating features that mitigate tracking technologies, block malicious scripts, and safeguard against online threats such as malware and phishing attempts. By integrating advanced privacy protection measures, users can navigate the web with confidence, knowing that their personal information and online activities are shielded from intrusive tracking and potential security risks.

3. Performance and Resource Efficiency

Efficient ad blockers should not compromise browsing speed or consume excessive system resources. Users should look for ad blockers that deliver effective ad blocking capabilities without significantly impacting page loading times or consuming excessive memory and CPU resources. A well-optimized ad blocker ensures a seamless browsing experience while effectively filtering out intrusive ads.

4. User-Friendly Interface

A user-friendly interface is crucial for ensuring a positive ad blocking experience. The ad blocker should offer intuitive controls, clear settings, and transparent feedback to users regarding the ads being blocked. Additionally, the interface should facilitate easy access to customization options and privacy settings, enabling users to manage their ad blocking preferences with ease.

5. Regular Updates and Support

Selecting an ad blocker that receives regular updates and ongoing support is essential for maintaining optimal ad blocking performance and addressing emerging ad-related challenges. Users should prioritize ad blockers that are actively maintained and supported by the developers, ensuring that the solution remains effective in combating evolving ad formats and online threats.

6. Compatibility and Integration

Compatibility with the latest versions of Safari and seamless integration with the browser's ecosystem are critical factors to consider. Users should opt for ad blockers that seamlessly integrate with Safari, providing a cohesive and uninterrupted browsing experience without compatibility issues or conflicts with other browser extensions.

By carefully evaluating these features, Safari users can identify ad blockers that align with their specific needs, ultimately enhancing their browsing experience, fortifying their privacy, and mitigating the impact of intrusive advertisements.

In conclusion, the landscape of ad blockers for Safari offers users a diverse array of options to enhance their browsing experience, mitigate the impact of intrusive ads, and fortify their online privacy. Safari's built-in content blockers provide a foundational level of ad blocking and privacy protection, seamlessly integrated into the browser to streamline the browsing experience and curtail tracking activities. However, for users seeking advanced customization, comprehensive privacy protection, and detailed insights into their ad blocking activities, third-party ad blockers available in the App Store serve as valuable extensions that complement Safari's native capabilities.

When choosing an ad blocker for Safari, users should consider a range of essential features to ensure that the selected solution aligns with their browsing preferences and privacy concerns. Customization options, privacy protection measures, performance efficiency, user-friendly interfaces, regular updates and support, as well as compatibility and integration with Safari, are pivotal factors to evaluate when making an informed decision.

By leveraging third-party ad blockers, Safari users can gain greater control over their ad blocking preferences, fine-tune their privacy settings, and access advanced features that cater to their individual browsing habits. The ability to create custom filter lists, block specific ad formats, and safeguard against tracking technologies empowers users to curate a personalized and secure browsing environment, free from the disruptions caused by intrusive advertisements.

Ultimately, the optimal ad blocker for Safari is one that seamlessly integrates with the browser, delivers effective ad blocking capabilities without compromising performance, and prioritizes user privacy and security. By leveraging the built-in content blockers and exploring third-party ad blockers available in the App Store, Safari users can elevate their online experience, enjoy a cleaner and more secure browsing environment, and take control of the content they encounter during their web sessions.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the importance of ad blockers in preserving user privacy and enhancing the browsing experience cannot be overstated. By staying informed about the available ad blocking options and considering the key features outlined in this article, Safari users can navigate the web with confidence, knowing that their online activities are shielded from intrusive ads and potential security threats, ultimately fostering a more enjoyable and secure browsing experience.
