Know any effective and simple ad blocker for Safari? Mainly for Mac but wouldn't mind for iOS as well.
- Nextgrid 6y agoAdGuard is what I’d recommend; it supports the default uBlock Origin lists such as EasyList, Fanboy’s lists, etc. I’ve tried other blockers before (including paid ones) and I found that most come with their own lists (typically derived from the aforementioned ones) and those are not always kept up to date.
- crossroadsguy 6y agoI just checked it and it turns out AdGuard is open source. Interesting. I always had an impression (assumption) AdGuard would be closed source. It's also free (that's even more surprising). So, it's more like uBlock Origin, isn't it? There's another famous OSS ad blocker - AdBlock Plus and it's quite shady as it goes. AdGuard isn't like that, is it?
- ameshkov 6y agoAll free software that we make is open source. Paid - closed source (save for AdGuard for iOS, it's open source despite having some premium features).
- ornornor 6y agoFor iOS I use nextdns. It’s great and works across all apps, not only safari. The free plan is more than enough for a single user but the paid plan isn’t very expensive either. Nextdns also curbs my “smart” TV’s enthusiasm about data sharing.
