Description.

More than 35,000,000 AdGuard users enjoy the better, faster, and safer Internet. The ad blocker extension clears all ads in Safari and fights data tracking to protect privacy. Unlike other major ad blockers, AdGuard provides some extra features you are used to having with the traditional (now deprecated) extensions: ● Manage protection from Safari ● Choose among popular filter lists ● Add custom filter lists ● Create your own filtering rules ● Manual blocking tool ● Whitelist websites in one click AdGuard for Safari is based on the Safari native content blocking API, which makes it lightning fast. KEY FEATURES ◈ Blocking Ads Remove all kinds of ads from Safari browser easily. We have plenty of ad blocking filters and even an ability to manually remove ANY element on the page that you don't like. ◈ Blocking Trackers Make your personal information protected by blocking known trackers. ◈ Blocking Annoyances Tired of all the «Like» buttons and similar widgets infesting all of your frequented web pages? Just enable AdGuard "Social Media filter" and forget about them. ◈ Faster Browsing Speed By preventing ads, annoyances, and trackers from loading when you visit a certain page, AdGuard makes browsing smoother and faster. ◈ Free and Open Source AdGuard for Safari is a free and open source software. The source code is available on Github: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForSafari

Version 1.11.18

The filter developers said that this version blocks ads more effectively thanks to updated Scriptlets. Should we take their word for it or get the new version and see for ourselves?

Good Set & Forget Ad Blocker

Clean, simple, and easy to understand. I use on my Mac as well as my iOS devices. Great Apple citizen. Recent updates have made this much easier to use via the built in system controls. Also a big handy feature for me is the ability to quickly, permanently block elements on a webpage just by selecting them, great for navigating poorly designed websites with elements that cover others especially on mobile. However 4 out of 5 times when a website won't work or load it's because this is blocking some linked script or tracking redirect, which is sometimes annoying, especially when you have to do it several times every time such a link is clicked, but the app is just doing its job of blocking sketchy connections that I don't want and that's more a fault of the web at large.

Some annoying bugs, please fix!

This app appears to do a great job and what it sets out to do, but there is an annoying bug that renders this quite frustrating on a fresh boot: when this app is set to open at login, it does NOT honor the "hide" setting checkbox under System Preferences --> Users and Groups --> Current User --> Login Items --> "hide" checkbox next to AdGuard for Safari. Normally, when the system is rebooted and this box is checked, the app can launch, but without the application window opening in front of the user. Please fix this, so that the app can launch at login without popping up its preferences window each time! Finally, as a feature request, please support Catalina auto dark mode, and please allow for iCloud-based settings syncing... thanks!

BEST Ad Blocker for Mojave

After upgrading to Mojave, I found Safari has completely changed its mechanism of extensions. All of my ad block plug-ins now only function in very limited manners (no filter setting, no element inspections etc.). And I feel particularly annoyed -- I browse Chinese websites frequently, yet almost all ad blockers would never succeed in removing ads in foreign languages unless you set up filters manually. Yet as I said before, all most all ad blockers under Mojave are too succinct to offer such advanced features. Thankfully, I finally found this lovely, amazing, elegant, useful, powerful AdGuard. The pre-installed language-specific filer lists are totally incredible. To Mojave users, if you're reading this review, pls stop searching for other ad blockers. AdGuard is THE BEST!

Does AdGuard or other ad blocker for Safari block YouTube ads these days?

I am trying to cut on subscriptions costs so I'd like to cancel my YouTube Premium sub for a while. Are there any ad blockers that reliably block ads on YT at the moment? I am currently using Safari (not sure if I will stick to it yet), so something that works with Safari is best. At the moment I am using the AdGuard extension. Thanks!

‎Vinegar - Tube Cleaner

This is an ongoing quiet tit-for-tat war between YourTube and the ad blocker devs. 1Blocker currently does but every so often the ads get through until 1Blocker update their filters again. Probably similar for the others.  

GimmeDatApple said: No it does not. I use Vinegar, a Safari extension. Works on macOS, iOS and iPadOS. Best $2 I've spent. ‎Vinegar - Tube Cleaner ‎Vinegar is a Safari extension that replaces the YouTube player with a minimal HTML video tag. It removes ads, restores picture-in-picture, and keeps videos playing in the background. Note: The "can read information from webpages" text in the permission section is just unfortunate wording... apps.apple.com Click to expand...

BeatCrazy said: Vinegar hasn't worked on YouTube for me in some time. However the paid Adguard works 100% of the time on both desktop and mobile Safari. I think I paid ~$15 about 6 months ago for a lifetime sub, and even if it stops working tomorrow, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. Click to expand...

boss.king said: Yes it does. I use AdGuard and never see ads on mobile or desktop Safari. Also, @OP, I can confirm the StackSocial thing is legit, I've used it for AdGuard and a few other things — there are often good deals to be found there. I got a lifetime family bundle ~10 licences for way cheaper than going directly through AdGuard and put it on every device in my house. Click to expand...

Iwavvns said: Posting this just in case: you might run into a video on YouTube that is blank. What I’ve seen is that blank video is a placeholder that stays there while the advertisement runs - you won’t see the advertisement,just a blank video. When the advertisements are over, the video will auto-play. Or you can avoid the wait and refresh the page in the browser and watch the video without the ads. Click to expand...

boss.king said: I'm not sure what seven extensions you're talking about. It might be different for me because I'm running the Safari extension and the desktop app. All I know it I never see ads on Youtube (mobile and desktop) while AdGuard is running. If I turn AdGuard off, I see lots of Youtube ads. On mobile I use DNS filtering so it gets rid of ads in most apps (although even this doesn't help with the iOS Youtube app, so I use Youtube in Safari on mobile). Click to expand...

GimmeDatApple said: Op said they’re using the AdGuard Safari extension which is not blocking youtube ads for them. As I stated in my initial reply hours ago, no that does not block YouTube ads. The desktop app is not the same thing and not what we were talking about. These are the Safari extensions. Click to expand...
