Safari is the fourth most popular browser in the world; it is installed on all gadgets from the Cupertino company. In addition, there is a version of the browser intended for Windows PC users.

Safari is different high speed work, a pleasant interface, and the top sites tab of the most popular sites is made three-dimensional. The web viewer also has some disadvantages:

There is no search option from the address bar;

when one tab is open, there is no button to open a second tab (you can open it through the menu or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T;

inability to connect extensions.

Possibilities Adblock Safari

What can Adblock for Safari do? Let's take a closer look. The range of browser extension capabilities is quite large:

Pop-up blocker;

protecting users from visiting unwanted, so-called “phishing” sites.

Pop-up windows in Safari are another “surprise” that website owners have prepared for us. Surely you are familiar with the situation when you want to read an article, but a pop-up screensaver that fills the entire screen prevents you from doing so. On the one hand, the screensaver is shown for a few seconds, and one could live with this. But on the other hand, there is a negative psychological effect that spoils all the pleasure of Internet surfing.

Anti-phishing - protection against malicious and fraudulent sites

Another feature of the browser extension for Safari is anti-phishing control.

If you have a Mac computer Adblock Safari will take care of your information security and will block access to fraudulent and phishing sites. It's no secret that there are a lot of scammers on the Internet who are hunting for logins and passwords from pages social networks, for access to popular websites, and also steal PIN codes and CVV codes from bank cards. How is this done? Let's say there is a bank website privat24.ua. The scammer makes a resource that is as close to the real thing as two peas in a pod, but differs by one letter in the domain name, for example, pvivat24.ua. And then you need to make sure that the victim goes to the fraudulent site. You can send a letter to an email address, or you can infect your computer with a virus that will redirect the user to a fake site.

The victim enters his username and password, and they become known to hackers. The bank sends its client a password to log into online banking (two-factor authentication). The attacker immediately enters this temporary password on the real site - access to other people's money is guaranteed.

Another opportunity for a hacker to make money at someone else’s expense is to create a fake online store. The user makes a payment for the product, money is withdrawn from the card, but, naturally, the person does not receive any product and (or) service.

But how does the program know which sites are trusted and which are not? The database is replenished by the users themselves, who must complete certain actions in the browser. Read on for more details.

If the site is spammy or fraudulent, click on the extension button, then “report this site” and indicate the reason for the complaint.

You can complain about:

incorrect display of the site;

In addition, you can indicate your reason for contacting. After entering the text of the complaint, click on the green “send complaint” button.

A new page will open on which you will not only be able to see the verdict regarding the site you have chosen, but also leave your own review about it.

Why is Adguard better than just an “Anti-banner”? Let's figure it out. Adguard is a three-in-one program:

anti-banner;

anti-phishing;

anti-tracking.

We discussed in detail above what an “anti-banner” and “anti-phishing” are. Now let's look at what anti-tracking is. This function allows you to block any counters and tracking tools. In other words, this Adguard program option is aimed at achieving online privacy.

Adguard Assistant

Unlike the extension, the application includes an "Helper" function. To go to the assistant, click on the green circle in the lower right corner of your browser screen.

Adguard has a parental control function, and this also sets the program apart from browser extensions. Parents can easily block their children's access to materials marked "18+".

Adguard was initially aimed at Runet. Indeed, the program works best in the Russian-language segment of the World Wide Web. However, when viewing a site in any other language, the application will automatically add the necessary filters so that you can enjoy a clean and safe Internet.

Regardless of what device you use, there is one thing that annoys absolutely everyone - advertising. Today we will talk about how you can remove ads on your iPad and iPhone.

The topic is very interesting, because we encounter this problem almost every day, but we know absolutely nothing about ways to get rid of it.

How to disable advertising in applications on iPhone/iPad?

As you understand, everyone wants to eat and therefore, after downloading free version product, you get quite a lot of advertising that appears everywhere.

The ways to combat this phenomenon are quite simple and now I will list them:

• Turn off the Internet. All advertising usually comes from the Internet, so by simply turning it off, you can very easily get rid of this problem.
• We pay money for disconnection. With the option, when the toy is online, it is impossible to play without the Internet. Here you will have to pay for the premium version.

Now is the era of applications, when everything seems to be free, but at the same time we receive a lot of advertising. In some cases this is tolerable, but there are times when it is simply impossible to use.

How to remove ads in Safari on iPad/iPhone?

Many device users prefer Safari as their default browser. It’s especially convenient when you have a MacBook or iMac and everything is synchronized.


Naturally, there are quite a lot of advertisements that you can come across when searching for the information you need. You can get rid of it in one way - “blockers”.

Starting with iOS 9, it became possible to install applications on your iPhone and iPad that simply remove advertising from the roots. Here are a couple of them:

• Crystal (paid);
• Adblock Fast (free);
• Purify Blocker (paid);
• 1Blocker (free);
• Blockr (paid).

As you can see, there are both free and paid versions. The choice is yours and don’t forget that sometimes everything doesn’t work as correctly as you would like.

How to remove ads on YouTube on iPad/iPhone?

Well, the last case where you can most often find advertising is YouTube. For recent years his popularity grew quite significantly.


Surely you like to watch a lot of videos on your iPad and iPhone, because it’s quite convenient to do this on large screens.

But, as soon as you get into the taste of watching a video, you immediately see annoying advertising and sometimes it cannot be removed after five seconds.

There is only one solution to the problem - this "YouTube Red". This is the name of a paid subscription from this site and one of the advantages is watching videos without advertising.

In addition to comfortable viewing, we are also given a bunch of different opportunities:

• watch videos offline, save and watch later;
• playback in the background, most often more convenient to use with music;
• free access to Google Play Music.

All this miracle costs $12 a month. I don’t know how much the subscription is justified, but you can definitely save your nerves, because you won’t see any more advertising.

Results

In fact, this is probably all I wanted to tell you about how you can remove ads on your iPad or iPhone. I think I've listed all the cases.

Perhaps I missed something and if so, write in the comments what exactly it is and I will definitely add information about it.

Advertising is an inevitable evil of the modern Internet; most sites pay their bills with it. But most people put up with it because they have to, not because they want to. If you prefer to block ads online and your iPhone is running iOS 9 or later, I have good news for you: you can turn it off.

You can do this because iOS - the operating system that runs on your iPhone - supports ad blocking apps.

Content blocking tools are apps you install on your iPhone that add new features to the Safari browser that the iPhone's built-in browser didn't have originally. They're like additional keyboards - separate apps that run within other apps that support them. This means that to block ads you will need to install at least one such application.

After installing such an application on your iPhone, it usually works as follows: When you visit the site, the application checks the list of advertising services and servers. When detected, the application blocks them from loading on the page. Some of these apps take a more comprehensive approach. They block not only ads, but also tracking cookies used by advertisers based on their addresses (URL).

Ad blocking benefits: Speed, Traffic, Battery

• Websites load faster - The way ads are added to a site makes pages with ads load slower. If there is no need to download advertising from other servers, the page will load faster;
• You use less traffic - Since ads are blocked, you won't have to use your paid traffic to download them. The developers of one of the blocking applications claim savings of up to 50% of traffic. I don't think most people will be able to save that much, but the volume should still be noticeable;
• Battery Saver - Technologies companies use to create ads and track user activity can reduce iPhone battery life. Blocking ads and tracking cookies will save you battery life.

It is necessary to note one existing drawback. Some sites use software that detects ad blockers and prevents you from viewing the page until you disable the blocker. You can find out why this is done in the section “You can block ads, but costs is it?" at the end of this article.

How to install an ad blocking application?

1. Make sure the version operating system your device has iOS 9 or higher
2. Find an ad blocking app in the App Store and install it
3. Launch the application by clicking on its icon. Basic application setup may be required
4. Click Settings
5. Click Safari
6. Scroll the screen and tap Content Blockers
7. Find the application installed in step 2 and move the slider to the ON/green position
8. Start using the Safari browser (these apps don't work with other browsers) and notice what's missing - ads!

How to block pop-ups on iPhone?

Ad blocking apps can block all kinds of ads and tracking files, but if you only want to block annoying pop-ups, then you won't have to install anything. Pop-up blocking is built into the Safari browser. You can enable it like this:

1. Click Settings
2. Click Safari
3. In the General part, move the slider Block Pop— ups to ON/Green position.

List of ad blocking apps for iPhone?

This is not a complete list, we included the best applications in our opinion:

• 1 Blocker- free, with in-app purchases - In addition to the 40,000 available ad and other content blockers, this app allows you to create your own blocking rules.
• Block Ads- free - The developers of this free ad blocker claim that your Internet speed will increase by 2-5 times, and the amount of traffic used will decrease by 50%.
• Crystal- $0.99 - The developers of this application claim to increase page loading speed by 4 times and save 50% of traffic. This application also allows you to view advertisements on some websites to support them.
• Norton Ad Blocker- free - Ad blocking application from a company long known for its antivirus software.
• Purify Blocker- $1.99 - Blocks ads, blockers trackers and maintains a whitelist of sites where you can see ads if you choose. The developer claims a 4-fold increase in speed and 50% traffic savings.

You can block ads, but costs is it?

Such apps allow you to block ads, but before you start, you might want to think about how this will affect the sites you like.

Almost all sites on the Internet make the majority of their revenue from displaying advertisements to visitors. If advertising is blocked, the site will not receive money. And the money received from displaying advertising goes to pay authors and editors, they pay for servers, equipment, photographs, trips and much more. Without this income, the site you are used to visiting every day may simply cease to function.

Many people still prefer to take a risk: online advertising has become too intrusive, consuming a lot of traffic and phone battery energy, and users decide to use everything they can. I'm not saying ad blocking is good or bad, but make sure you fully understand the implications of the technology you're using.

The browser is developed by the Apple company and is installed by default on all Apple gadgets. Now quite popular, especially popular on phones (iphone). Thanks to iPhones, it can compete with all modern browsers. Until recently, there was one big problem, the installation of add-ons (extensions) was not supported, but the developers realized their mistake and from version 6 they gave the green light to add-ons. Now all functionality can be expanded, both internally and using external plugins and websites.

Let’s move directly to the question “ how to remove ads in Safari” and look at some ways you can implement this.

1. We remove pop-up windows using Safari settings.
2. Installing the Adblock add-on.
3. Using antivirus and ad blocking programs.

Go to the video, which shows the use of these methods:

1.Remove pop-up windows using Safari settings.

If you need to remove only pop-up windows, then go to the browser and find the “Show Safari main settings menu” button at the top right. The drop-down list may immediately contain the item “Block pop-up windows”, if there is one, click on it. If it is not there, then find the “Settings” item below and go to it.

Locking windows works, move on to the next method.

2.Installing the Adblock add-on.

You can find the add-on online and download it, it works great, it does its job to the fullest. I previously devoted an entire article to this topic, so I recommend going over, reading and following all the steps. Here is the article: “”, described step by step, it won’t take much time.

3.Use of antiviruses and ad blocking programs.

In order to remove ads in Safari, you can also use other software products in the form of antiviruses, programs that block all advertising (Adguard, Ad Muncher). But one minus this method The point is that you need to install them on your computer and they will eat up your resources.

4. Installing the Adguard add-on.

Adguard is probably the most best way to block and disable advertising in the Yandex browser. You can see in detail how to install and configure it in the article: “” The article fully describes the installation of this extension and provides a video for more detailed information.

If you use the methods described above together, you can get a good result in the form of blocking, but for this you need to go through and configure all the steps described above. Forget about advertising, once and for all. Increase your performance significantly. I'll go write the next article, see you again on the pages of our blog.

It's time to fight annoying hidden ads on websites that redirect you to the App Store. While Apple is demonstrably inactive, we have prepared six ways to combat redirects in iOS.

Lately, I have often begun to notice that from some sites, whose reputation is beyond doubt, I am transferred to the App Store to the pages of various applications. In this case, a dialog box confirming consent to the transition does not appear, and many sites then do not load completely.

Among them were Last.fm, Reddit, The Verge, MacRumors, Metacritic and many others. Moreover, redirection occurs not only from the standard Safari browser, but when opening the site in Google Chrome or Opera Coast for iOS.

Apple is aware of this problem, which is confirmed by the list of changes back in iOS 8 Beta 2:

Safari now blocks ads from automatically redirecting to the App Store without user interaction

But the problem still exists even on devices with the newest and .

There are several ways to solve the redirect problem in iOS while we wait for an official solution from Apple.

Important! Before trying any of the methods below, I I recommend clear browser cache ( Settings -> Safari -> Clear cookies and data) and block cookies ( Settings -> Safari -> Block cookies -> Always). These simple steps can help with redirection for some sites.

Method one. Radically disabling Javascript

This method will 100 percent solve your problems with any redirects, and many other advertising technologies will be much less annoying. The disadvantage is that many sites on the modern Internet are very tightly tied to Java scripts, and it will be simply impossible to use them after such a shutdown. Unfortunately, none of the iOS browsers I know of support partial blocking of Javascript for certain sites, which would be an ideal solution to the problem.

Javascript is disabled in Settings -> Safari -> Add-ons -> Javascript.

Method two. Using the Dolphin Browser

For those who are ready to abandon the Safari browser or, for example, its closest competitor in the form of Google Chrome, the problem with annoying redirections can be solved by installing the browser Dolphin[Download from App Store]. Dolphin free and quite easy to use.

The AdBlock built into this browser copes well with this kind of advertising. It is enabled in the browser settings.

Method three. Using Weblock.

Weblock is a special application that allows you to block ads or any other resources in all iOS applications, not just in the browser. There is only one “but” - Weblock works exclusively for connections via WiFi, since in essence it is a very flexible and customizable proxy for each specific user. You can download it for 119 rubles in the App Store. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the lack of Russian localization.

>

To use Weblock, you need to set up your connection via Wi-Fi according to the instructions in the application itself (you need to go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> *your network name* -> HTTP Proxy -> Auto and insert the link there that will be generated for you by the application).

Method four. Setting restrictions.

iOS has a whole system of restrictions, which allows you to customize the use of your device by applications and content. If you use it to disable the App Store, then advertising redirects simply will not work, allowing you to continue surfing the web without any problems.

The App Store is disabled as follows: Settings -> Restrictions -> Installing programs. Any link leading to the App Store will simply stop working after this. The disadvantages of this method are obvious - without an application store, life is boring and dull, and constantly turning restrictions on the App Store on and off is quite tedious.

Method five. Full-fledged AdBlock from Cydia.

Jailbreaking gives you access to a huge number of different tweaks and applications, with which you can solve almost any problem or flaw in iOS, and simply customize the system to suit your needs. Just two installed applications from Cydia will help us solve not only the issue of advertising redirects in the App Store, but also completely forget about the existence of advertising.

First tweak – Untrusted Hosts Blocker from the repo.thireus.com repository. He edits the file /etc/hosts in the system, blocking connections to 38 thousand advertising resources.

Second – (for iOS 8 the second version is used, ) from the BigBoss repository, which allows you to block any advertising.

This option has only two disadvantages - a jailbreak is required, which means the option is unsuitable for devices on the newest ones iOS versions. In addition, the AdBlocker tweak is not free ($2 in the Cydia store).

Method six. Tweak NoAppStoreRedirect from Cydia
