wBlock

Next-gen ad blocker for Safari

Free

The next-generation ad blocker. 750,000 filter rules across five Safari blockers, plus userscripts, userstyles, and a visual element zapper. Free and open source. wBlock turns Safari into a cleaner, faster, and more private browsing experience while being completely free and open-source.​ Element Zapper Say goodbye to cookie banners, subscription pop-ups, and intrusive overlays forever. wBlock's Element Zapper lets you visually select and remove any unwanted element from any webpage with a single click. Unlike temporary removals, these changes persist across visits, keeping your favorite sites clean.​ Userscript Support Enhance your browsing with userscripts that add features mainstream browsers can't. Bring back YouTube dislikes, bypass paywalls, customize social media feeds, and more. wBlock gives you the power to shape the web the way you want it.​ Lightning-Fast Performance wBlock uses only ~40 MB of RAM at idle, one of the lightest ad blockers available. Your browser stays fast and responsive while blocking ads and annoyances across every website you visit.​ Complete Control Toggle blocking on individual sites with one click. Add custom filter lists to fine-tune protection. Manage a personal whitelist for trusted sites. View detailed logs to troubleshoot issues. wBlock puts you in the driver's seat.​ Free & Open-Source Forever No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no hidden fees. wBlock is completely free and always will be. The open-source codebase ensures complete transparency; you can verify exactly what the app does and how it protects your privacy.​ Privacy-First Design wBlock runs entirely within Safari's content blocking API. There's no data collection, no tracking, and no system-level extensions that can monitor your browsing. Your privacy stays yours.​
