Adblock Plus for Safari ABP

A Safari content blocker for intrusive web ads, with Acceptable Ads enabled by default.

Our take

Useful as a free first step for reducing browser distractions.

Filter lists and an explicit Acceptable Ads switch let you choose whether some nonintrusive ads remain.

Keep in mind: Coverage depends on filters and website changes; this is not antivirus or complete anonymity. Open the app after updates to synchronize new lists.

What you can do

  • Safari ad filtering
  • Optional disabling of Acceptable Ads
  • Updated content-blocking lists

Good for

  • Safari users who want a configurable free blocker.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting all advertising removed with default settings or all-browser system filtering.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 11.0.
  • Coverage depends on filters and website changes; this is not antivirus or complete anonymity. Open the app after updates to synchronize new lists.

Privacy & permissions

Content blocking changes what loads in Safari. Review extension permissions and any optional account use; website tracking-cookie choices are separate from app behavior.
