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.

What’s New
Version 1.11.17
As Sigmund Freud used to say: “Sometimes a new version is just a new version”. This time, we've gone with the standard set of changes: updated scriptlets, translations, and filters — without pomp and fanfare, but with a great sense of responsibility.
Ratings and Reviews
Blocks Everything
After the Safari 13 update I was at a loss as to how to block youtube ads, as nothing I tried worked. I can confirm, Adguard for Safari BLOCKS YOUTUBE ADS. Awesome app, thank you so much! Now how to donate?
Very pleased with this app but it has one issue
I have AdGuard on my iPhone so when macOS changed the way extensions work I went looking for a new ad-block app in the app store, I gave a few of them a try. I disliked most of them and then discovered AdGuard was available. Installed it, works great - same as on iOS but the macOS version of AdGuard has one issue that I don’t like. It leaves an icon in the system menu bar that seems to want to stay there as long as you want it running in Safari. There doesn’t seem to be way to hide it other than quitting the app which obviously then stops blocking ads in Safari, defeating the purpose.
For comparison, all the other new adblock extensions that I’ve tried from the Mac App Store, none of them leave icons in the menu bar. So it’s a little strange that AdGuard can’t operate without it. Hope they figure out a way to fix this soon.

Yea Boiii
This extension blocks all my youtube ads, which is all I really ask for. For the LONGEST time I was trying to get Adblock to work on Youtube, but my attempts were futile. I’m grateful for this app.
Update: I use this on my Macbook, so I don’t know how it does on the iPhone.
