Got Questions About AdBlock?
Q.Is AdBlock free, or does it require a subscription?
AdBlock is available as an honest One-Time Purchase for $1.99. Buy once to unlock full lifetime access, completely avoiding recurring subscription charges.
Q.How do I enable AdBlock in macOS and iOS Safari?
On Mac (macOS): After downloading from the Mac App Store, open the application once, then launch Safari -> click "Settings" (or Preferences) in the menu bar -> select the "Extensions" tab -> locate "AdBlock" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "AdBlock" and toggle it ON.
Q.Why is Safari ad-blocking much faster and lighter than Google Chrome?
Chrome extensions traditionally execute heavy JavaScript inside every web page to inspect and block URLs on the fly. Safari uses native compiled JSON rule lists processed directly by Apple WebKit engine in C++, preventing ads from even starting to download without executing third-party code in your tabs.
Q.Does this extension work in Safari Private Browsing mode?
Yes! On macOS Sonoma / iOS 17 and later, go to Safari Settings -> Extensions, and ensure "Allow in Private Browsing" is checked. This ensures the same clean and ad-free experience while safeguarding your incognito sessions.
Maximize Your Productivity on macOS & iOS
In Safari Preferences -> Websites -> Content Blockers, you can easily toggle rules per domain with a single shortcut.
