What the actual fffahhhhh
"I had gotten the Adblock plus service for a year because I thought it would block ads, it worked mostly fine for most apps besides Netflix during the free trial week (trying to watch an anime I never seen on Disney+). then as soon as the payment of $40 for the year was accepted, all the ads on all the apps including Disney+ came rushing back in. It’s a waste of money and a waste of my time."

Got Questions About Adblock Plus for Safari & Apps?
Q.Is Adblock Plus for Safari & Apps free, or does it require a subscription?
Adblock Plus for Safari & Apps 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 Plus for Safari & Apps 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 Plus for Safari & Apps" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "Adblock Plus for Safari & Apps" 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.
