The process of ad blocking is described in detail in one of our past blog articles. How filtering in Safari works: filters and rules We strongly recommend keeping all content blockers enabled at all times for the best filtering quality. View the current state of content blockers and enabled filters You can find the current status of content blockers on the respective screen in Advanced settings (we'll get to it shortly). Six content blockers means six times more filtering rules, adding up to 300,000, which is a much more reasonable amount. Why are there six of them? Apple in its infinite wisdom allows only 50,000 filtering rules per one content blocker, and this amount is very small (don't get fooled by a seemingly large number). Imagine content blockers as 'containers' that don't necessarily do anything by themselves, but store filtering rules that do the actual job of blocking ads and tracking. We've been throwing the term 'Content blockers' around for a while now, but what does it mean exactly? Tap on it to watch a tutorial and refresh these steps in your memory.

If some of the content blockers are disabled, you'll see a notification on the app's home screen. Switch on all AdGuard content blockers and return to the appįollow the instruction to enable all AdGuard content blockers.Tap on Safari and choose the Content blockers menu item.

This is why content blocking in Safari stands out and deserves to be discussed separately.įirst of all, to make Safari content blocking operational you'll need to enable all six Content blockers (more about them in a moment). Safari browser is the only place where Apple allows to use a designated ad blocking API (a set of tools for building ad blocking apps).

So we decided to update them alongside each other. When some time later Apple reverted their guidelines back, there was a lot to untangle - especially considering there were paying customers in both AdGuard and AdGuard Pro, so we couldn't just ditch one of the two apps.

It included some features not even present in the Pro app, but also lacked some others that the Pro app had access to. We made quite some progress, and started offering a Premium subscription of the free app. Our goal was to make it as functional as possible under the new restrictions. Naturally, we froze its development and switched our focus to the free version. But at one point Apple changed their AppStore review guidelines, and according to the new edition we couldn't update our Pro app anymore without losing some vital ad blocking capabilities.

Let us explain why.įrom the very beginning, we had a plan to have two apps: a free one and a paid Pro one. Wait, apps? Like in 'more than one app'? Correct, we have two of them, despite they are almost identical. We've already covered AdGuard apps for Windows, Android, Mac and Safari, as well as AdGuard browser extensions.
