AdBlock Pro－Browser Ad Blocker 4+

For YT particularly, I’ve noticed it blocks more ads on desktop versus on mobile. I have all of the settings as recommended by the app. It does block ads played DURING the video, but doesn’t skip the black screen like it did before, causing a watch delay. To reiterate, I’m watching 5-10 seconds of black screen, which is better, but then I’m still seeing stationary ads on the home page of YT while scrolling through my feed. It’s blocking about 60-70% of ads, essentially.

Last week, it used to not force me to watch the black screen at all. I suspect this is action by YT to throttle adblock users.

I do have suspicions there will be more of a focus on the mobile side of things to push ads, as that’s how most people use YT. Overall, I’m pretty happy but I do wish it worked as before.

To improve YouTube ad-blocking on mobile, make sure you're on the latest version of the app (10.9.1) and have fully restarted Safari after updating. For the black screen issue, it could be due to YouTube's changes to counter ad blocking. On desktop, ensure the Safari extension for video is enabled for better performance. If you're still seeing ads on the YouTube homepage, try restarting the app and Safari. Ad serving methods evolve, but we constantly update to stay ahead. If issues persist, please send screenshots of the ads via the Report Website feature inside the app for further assistance.

This app is Safari specific. Read that again. It is for safari only. If the app isn’t working for you, either you need to watch the instructions again or switch to safari. In the words of a great pale comedian, “Its so simple.”

Well that or your looking at some grossly malware infused websites.

I only use safari so this is a great app as safari’s own ad blockers can’t stop a flea sized ad. This app can stop a truck sized ad. My main sites I go to went from 3 or 4 annoying “redirects/floaty ad/pop up/suddenly play noise scaring the bujeezus outta me” ads to almost zero. I’ve only seen one or two that defy to blocker but they don’t do anything anymore unless you click them… Which I did! Well I wanted to know how well the blocker was working. Lol.

The option to switch to the paid version pops up when you first open the app. There is a subscribe button that will start the free trial of the paid version after which “when” the trial ends a subscription will automatically start. Close this to use the free version. If you subscribe… well duh you subscribed. Nuff said. If you closed rather than hitting subscribe you can choose the paid version later if you realize how awesome this ad blocker is. Which it is. Awesome as a Sunday morning with milk, cookies, and nothing to do but eat them. The peeps that made this have my thanks, respect, and money lol. Support good programmers.

Amazing app! I have used many ad blocking Applications and while they did block adds to a certain extent some ads were still able to pop up. I decided to purchase this app on a whim because I was tired of using free ad blocking apps and not receiving the quality that I wanted. And I can tell you that this app is life-changing when it comes to surfing the Internet on your phone. Because the odds are no longer able to pop up and load on the web page all of the websites that I have accessed ever since using this application have loaded almost 100 times faster than what it was before I downloaded this app. To anyone who doesn’t want To wait for a page to load because of a enormous amount of ads I would definitely recommend this app it is 100% worth the money!

🥳💯👏 Thanks for the awesome review! Consider sharing AdBlock Pro with your friends to help them enjoy a smoother surfing experience too.
