AdBlock

AdBlock applies local DNS rules and a Safari content blocker with import, export and optional rule sync.

Our take

Consider for users comfortable inspecting blocking rules

Custom domains and shared rules support tailored filtering.

Keep in mind: The ninety-nine-percent and battery claims are not tested guarantees; DNS blocking cannot remove every first-party ad and aggressive rules can break services.

What you can do

  • Use the local DNS proxy and domain rules
  • Enable Safari content filtering
  • Import, export or sync eligible rule lists

Good for

  • Users who want configurable content blocking

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting every ad removed without reviewing rules

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 12.0.
  • The ninety-nine-percent and battery claims are not tested guarantees; DNS blocking cannot remove every first-party ad and aggressive rules can break services.

Privacy & permissions

The publisher says traffic is not routed through a remote server; DNS activity and synced rule lists can still reveal interests.
