Description
1Blocker lets you block obtrusive ads, sneaky trackers, and annoying elements on sites. With 1Blocker, you’re safe online and nothing will distract you from enjoying sites.
1Blocker is very easy to use — just flip a couple of switches to start blocking ads and trackers. The app will automatically receive cloud updates to the built-in filters silently, so you don’t need to do anything. It’s as simple as setting and forgetting.
1Blocker is a fully native app designed to extend Safari naturally. It’s lightweight and doesn’t drain your battery by taking up your device’s resources.
The blocking itself is super fast because Safari does it itself. We only provide filters to Safari and don’t modify webpages in any way. This vastly improves efficiency because Safari knows in advance what should be blocked. So, with 1Blocker, sites load on average 2-5x faster.
It’s important to note that not all ads can be blocked though. Some sites use techniques that make it impossible for us to block their ads using currently available features for Safari content blockers.
SECURE BY DESIGN
1Blocker is secure and private. It doesn’t have access to webpages and doesn’t track you in any way.
We believe that privacy is not for sale. That's why we don't have an "Acceptable Ads" program. We stay independent, and the only way we make money is through direct sales of 1Blocker in the App Store to you.
ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION
1Blocker is a highly customizable content blocker, providing the possibility to create powerful custom rules. It allows you to create custom rules that block any URL by providing a regular expression or hide any element by CSS. It also lets you block cookies. (Available in Premium)
AVAILABLE ON ALL DEVICES
1Blocker is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your preferences and custom rules are always in sync through iCloud no matter which device you're using.
FEATURED IN THE PRESS
1Blocker has been featured in TechCrunch, Lifehacker, MacStories, Macworld, and many more.
FEATURES AVAILABLE FOR FREE
• The ability to enable one category (for example, Block Trackers only)
• Whitelisting sites right from the Safari extension
• Whitelist synchronization between devices via iCloud
• The possibility to see blocked resources on a site

Ratings and Reviews
A fine blocker
UPDATE: Thanks for the thorough response! App does it's job, ability to block cookies pop-ups is neat feature. I take one star away because enabling all the blocking features breaks many less-popular pages (and even sometimes popular ones as Facebook), allowlisting them is easy and fast though. I'll start reporting broken sites and see whether (and how quickly) blocking will be fixed for them.
Old review:
Eats TON of data, when I inspected my data usage 1Blocker was using twice as much as Safari! I don't if it's poor implementation or is some suspicious activity being performed by this app...

Hello Paweł,
UPDATE: Thank you for adding new comment to your review! We are excited to see that you like our app, and the features it offers.
You are always welcome to report any issues here, vie our email (support@1blocker.com) or any of the feedback buttons available in the app.
OLD: It seems that this is how iOS counts cellular data used by other apps if 1Blocker's Firewall tool is enabled. Our app filters traffic right on the device via a local VPN profile, and we noticed that iOS attributes other apps' data to 1Blocker.
I understand that it looks confusing, so we will check if it can be changed in the future. The good thing is that the overall amount of data used should stay at the same level.
Premium features for existing customers = cheating
Update: after following developer’s advice everything worked as it should. Taking 1 star off for the confusion. It could have been explained in more details from the beginning (or handled completely differently since it confuses a lot of customers).
Old review:
So I bought 1Blocker when it was a paid application, now it moved to a subscription model, some features are “Premium only” and I need to pay again on a monthly basis. I think it’s not fair. Should’ve released a brand new app leaving existing customers with features they’ve already purchased.

Thank you, Kamil, you are right; we should have made that clearer much earlier. The upcoming updates will improve the process.
It works O.o
After so many different content blockers I have tried I was a bit sceptical to say the least about this one, but It does what it says, runs as a native application on M1 - tested it with my standard set of around 15 tabs, that I open in parallel - as a daily read and it only took 0,6 CPU time - nice. Will use it for a while and if there are no problems I will subscribe - not because I need extra functionality but to support this product. Cheers.
