Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Youtube Ads

"."
Absolute Gratefulness
"As of recently, ads have been completely out of control; To the point of slight onset insanity. Ads slip their way in every website and social media platform: and personally, I feel there should be laws against this abuse. Thankfully, I found AdGuard and ever since choosing this app I haven’t seen an ad since. It finally feels like early 2000 internet freedom. Works as it should and not money hungry like some websites/apps. The peace of mind I get from this ad blocker is uncontested. I’d much rather send AdGuard money than pay for YT premium and other evil CEOs of the likeness. That would just show that some guy in an office somewheres dumb idea works. I have actually gotten ads every 2 minutes on videos (an obvious tactic to force you to buy premium memberships or suffer torture methods of the same caliber as waterboarding or pulling teeth). Until legislation regulates ads AdGuard will do the job AND IT WORKS!!!!! Thank you x 1 million AdGuard"
Got Questions About AdGuard: Ad Blocker for Safari?
Q.Is AdGuard: Ad Blocker for Safari free, or does it require a subscription?
AdGuard: Ad Blocker for Safari 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 AdGuard: Ad Blocker for Safari 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 "AdGuard: Ad Blocker for Safari" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "AdGuard: Ad Blocker for Safari" 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.
