wBlock: Ad Blocker for Safari

wBlock is an open-source Safari blocker with configurable filter lists, scripts and per-site controls.

Our take

Choose it when you want to inspect and tune which content rules apply.

Automatic lists, local backups and optional iCloud sync support maintaining settings across devices.

Keep in mind: Scripts have different privileges from declarative filters, and blocked-request counts are expressly incomplete.

What you can do

  • Safari filters and list updates
  • Per-site exceptions and element hiding
  • Optional scripts, styles and settings sync

Good for

  • Users comfortable configuring Safari extensions

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone expecting guaranteed removal of every ad or tracker

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.4.
  • Scripts have different privileges from declarative filters, and blocked-request counts are expressly incomplete.

Privacy & permissions

The developer states no account or data collection; separately imported scripts and lists still need trust.
