Ratings and Reviews
Sweet Relief
I’m really sensitive and have crazy bad sensory processing issues. Definitely OCD. Maybe ASD. As a result, ads and commercials mess with my mind so much. I just have no natural filter for unwanted stimuli. I can’t believe it took me so long to discover ad blockers! Better late than never, I guess. I am so, so grateful for AdBlock Pro. You can only choose 1 blocking option to enable with the free version. I’m also running 1Blocker and AdGuard, so I chose different options for each blocker for thorough coverage. I’ll pay for one of them eventually. Just want to experiment a little before committing. I like the AdBlocker pro app best so far, and definitely want to take advantage of in-app tracker blocking soon. You have to pay for that no matter which blocker you choose. Annoyances on Safari are down about 80% with the extensions I’ve got enabled now. Can’t wait to get ad blockers running on my MacBook as well. The future looks bright 💛

Free vs Paid
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.

Mobile vs. Desktop
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.
