Wishing for one addition

"Been using this extension on PC since 2018/2019 and semi-recently on mobile. It genuinely helps websites load quicker and scroll smoother. I just want 1 feature being added to mobile as well which is the option to also block the non-obtrusive/unobstructive ads. Other than that, keep it up!"

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions About AdBlock for Safari + VPN?

Q.Is AdBlock for Safari + VPN free, or does it require a subscription?

AdBlock for Safari + VPN is 100% free to download on the Apple App Store without predatory weekly subscription traps. You can install and use it across your Mac and iPhone Safari browsers.

Q.How do I enable AdBlock for Safari + VPN 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 for Safari + VPN" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "AdBlock for Safari + VPN" 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.
