About this app
Free Safari ad blocking with custom filter lists and userscripts. 3.2.2 adds opt-in Global Privacy Control and safer iCloud sync. No subscription.
wBlock is a free, open-source ad blocker for Safari on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. Block ads and trackers with up to 750,000 Safari content-blocking rules. No subscription or in-app purchases.
Safari ad blocking
Choose recommended filter lists or add your own by URL, text, or file. Regional lists cover websites in your language. Optional filters handle cookie banners and other annoyances. Lists update automatically, and you can inspect the rules each list produces.
Userscripts and userstyles
Run built-in scripts such as AdGuard Extra and Dark Reader, or import your own userscripts. UserCSS themes support plain CSS and USO, along with Less and Stylus. Return YouTube Dislike is available in the catalog.
Native video controls
Optional Tube Cleaner and Player Cleaner bring Safari's native video controls to supported players, with Picture-in-Picture and background audio. Tube Cleaner includes SponsorBlock settings for YouTube. DeArrow is available separately for alternative titles and thumbnails.
Control each website
Turn filtering or userscripts off for a site from Safari's toolbar popup. Use the Element Zapper to hide an unwanted overlay. Limit individual lists to selected websites or exclude sites, including domain patterns such as amazon.*. Pause blocking when you need to.
Privacy settings
Tracking-parameter removal cleans supported links. Opt in to Global Privacy Control to send websites your privacy preference. An optional toolbar count shows supported blocked requests; it is not a complete count of everything Safari blocks.
iCloud sync and backups
Sync filter lists and settings across your devices, including custom filters and userscripts. Export a local backup when you want one. On Mac, scheduled filter updates can run while the app is closed.
Free and open source
wBlock collects no data and requires no account. Its GPL-3.0 source code is available on GitHub. All features are free.
