FAQ

  • An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
  • Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.
    AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
  • We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
  • Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.
    Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.
    AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
  • Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
  • You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:
    A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.
    With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.
    If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.
  • Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.

YouTube ads in Safari: why do you see them and can they be removed?

YouTube ads in Safari: you see them now, will you see them in the future?

Lately, we've been receiving an increasing amount of complaints about missed YouTube ads on iOS. What's important, the complaints were specifically about watching YouTube inside the Safari browser. As it turned out, YT has employed a new algorithm for showing ads to authorized users, and it had a negative effect on ad blocking quality. De facto, right now YouTube loads ad clips almost the same way as regular videos.

We found a solution that works for Safari on iOS, but it leaves much to be desired compared to other platforms and browsers. Simply speaking, we're blocking short videos (99.99% of them are ads).

UPDATE: turns out, there's a better way! Learn how to block YouTube ads in Safari on iOS from our fresh article.

But with such approach user experience takes a real hit: either there's a noticeable delay before the video loads or there's a placeholder in place of the video ad:

Short version

A few months ago YouTube started using the same way to show video ads to Chrome users, but we were able to handle it without much trouble. What's different about Safari? Unfortunately, Safari Content Blocking is severely limited compared to full-scale content blockers for other browsers. There were not many changes to Safari Content Blocking API since it was introduced in 2015.

Depending on your OS, here's what you can expect:

  • iOS/iPadOS: the current solution is the best solution that can be provided right now under the circumstances. We'll have to live with it unless Apple makes drastic changes (more on that later)
  • On macOS:
    • If you're using the standalone AdGuard for Mac app, you're not affected at all. You probably haven't noticed these ads in the first place.
    • If you're using AdGuard for Safari, make sure that "Advanced Blocking" extension is enabled. This extension makes up for some of the functionality that Safari Content Blocking misses. Unfortunately, it cannot be ported to iOS/iPadOS.

If Safari wants to stay relevant in terms of content blocking, some things need to be improved. We are ready to help and provide whatever expertise that might be needed. In fact, we have submitted multiple bug reports and feature requests for the last years.

Now, if you want to learn what's exactly wrong with Safari Content Blocking, read further. This may require some technical background so if you don't have it, feel free to scroll down to the last chapter.

How Safari content blocking works

Before talking about the limitations of Safari and how we at AdGuard mitigate them, it would be better to first learn how Safari Content Blocking works in the first place.

Content Blocker is basically an extension of your app that runs in a separate process, and the only purpose of this extension is to serve a JSON file with the list of content blocking rules. These rules are then used by Safari to actually do the 'blocking' part of the job.

This diagram illustrates how content blockers work in Safari

Each content blocking rule is a JSON object that consists of 2 parts: "trigger" and "action".

The "trigger" part defines what requests the rule should be applied to. And the "action" part, as the name suggests, defines what exactly will be done to this matching request.

What a blocking rule looks like in Safari

There are also cosmetic rules that hide page elements matching the specified CSS selector:

Cosmetic rule in Safari

We have only reviewed 2 types of actions: "blocking a request" or "hiding an element", but there are a few more:

  • One that allows disabling other matching rules
  • One for blocking cookies
  • Another one for upgrading connection to HTTPS

Now that we know what Safari Content Blocking is and how it works, let's talk about its limitations.

Limitations

Here's a short list of limitations that bothers us (as ad blocking community) the most. Some of them can be mitigated to an extent, but we're still talking about workarounds and not proper solutions.

  • No debugging tools
  • Different syntax (can be partially solved)
  • Slow compilation
  • 50k rules per content blocker limit (huge pain, but we learned to live with it)
  • Limited regular expressions support
  • Content Blocking is a low priority for Safari team

Let's analyze each of these problems.

No debugging tools

We'll kick things off with something that's simple yet has no solutions. To create effective filtering rules, developers need to debug them, and that requires debugging tools. Now, Safari content blocking comes with no debugging tools. The only tool that is of any help for filter maintainers is the browser Console, where they can see which requests were blocked. It's impossible to understand which rule is blocking this or that request and figuring it out may be a very tiresome process. There's also no suitable way of debugging cosmetic rules.

Browser console in Safari

This makes developing filters for Safari a very ineffective process, and many filters maintainers prioritize other browsers over Safari when it’s possible when it comes to creating a filtering rule. This, in turn, leads to poor quality of Safari filter lists compared to other browsers.

Different syntax

AdGuard filters, EasyList and uBlock filters are all based on the original Adblock Plus core syntax. It was extended, but the "core" part of it is the same among all popular content blockers.

Common filtering rule anatomy

And as you saw on the previous illustrations, Safari blocking rules have nothing in common with this syntax. And this is a problem because we don't want to create special "Safari-only" filter lists. It's not about us being lazy: Safari just does not provide good enough tools for developing these kind of lists.

What we want is using the good old traditional filter lists like AdGuard filters and EasyList.

Our solution

The obvious solution is to automatically convert our rules into Safari content blocking rules. AdGuard does exactly that in real time right on your device.

Possible solution for Safari syntax issues

You can imagine that it's extra work that doesn't make ad blockers more efficient.

Slow compilation

Safari compiles every content blocker JSON into a "prefix tree" that speeds up the lookups.

But compiling this prefix tree is slow. For example, you can see the output from the profiler, it takes over two seconds on a new MacBook Pro to compile a JSON with just a little over 30k rules (a vrey realistic size for a filter).

Compilation times in Safari

And this is slow. Compare it to content blockers on other platforms: it takes less than a second for AdGuard for Android app to parse and compile a list with over 100k rules. The obvious difference, though is that our Android app uses different syntax that is not as complicated as regular expressions, maybe not that flexible, but it is optimized specifically for matching URLs.

Users don't see any of this and they are not directly affected, but this aspect is actually pretty massive because it is the choke point that causes other limitations.

50k rules limit

Now that we know that the compilation is quite slow, it is easy understand the next limitation. A single content blocker cannot contain more than 50,000 rules, and this is a hard-coded limit for Safari. Apple developers confirmed that the main reason for this limitation is how slow the compilation is. They may increase the limit a little bit because new devices are faster, but this will not magically solve all problems.

There is no room for substantial improvement as long as the rules are based on using regular expressions. And don't let a seemingly high number trick you: for instance, AdGuard Base filter + EasyList have 100,000 rules in total, and that's only two filters. It's not uncommon for users on other platforms to have 5-10 filters simultaneously and even more.

Our solution

In fact, there's a complex of solutions. Sadly, even when combined, they all don't provide the desired result. However, they aren't worth nothing.

Filter optimization

As filter developers, we try to optimize our filters specifically for Safari. One of the things we do is combine similar element-hiding rules into a single one. As you can see in this example, five different rules are combined in just two:

Filter optimization in Safari

This helps a lot, but it’s still not enough.

Removing obsolete rules

Another thing we do is remove obsolete and rarely used rules from these optimized versions of filters. Thanks to those AdGuard Browser Extension users who volunteer to share anonymous filter usage statistics (this is disabled by default), we know which rules are used less heavily than the rest. We build special versions of the popular lists (like AdGuard Base filter) without obsolete and rarely used rules.

Filters maintainers can use special "hints" to control what rules should be kept despite the "optimization" process

Yes, it makes filters smaller, but in the end, the cost is lower ad blocking quality. Also, this method is not bulletproof: some rules we just don't have the stats on because they are not used in the browser extension, some filter developers will not put such hints next to their rules, etc.

Multiple content blockers

One more workaround that almost all developers of Safari ad blockers resort to is to divide the ad blocker into several independent content blockers.

AdGuard for iOS consists of 6 content blockers

Technically, each of them has less than 50k rules, yet in total they wield much more. But in ad blocking, 50k times 6 doesn't make 300km for several reasons:

  • It's not uncommon when one filter addresses rules from some other one. But with this approach different Safari content blockers are completely independent, and the rules in them cannot influence each other.
  • If any filter ever has more than 50k rules, you won't be able to add it at all.

We'll still continue to cut AdGuard into pieces to fit the Safari limitations, but you can see now why it's no fun.

Low development priority

We saved this one for last, because it's quite illustrative. Here's a changelog for Safari Content Blocking API over the last 6 years:

2015 — Safari Content Blocking is implemented
2016 — Added one new feature (make-https) and a couple of major bugs were fixed
2017 — Added one more new feature (if-top-url) — which is almost unusable — and added content blockers to WKWebView, fixed a couple of bugs
2018 — fixed a couple of bugs, code refactoring
2019 — fixed a couple of bugs
2020 — no significant changes

It's clear that with that rate it's impossible to catch up with the newest ad insertion technologies. Something has to change. We hope that priorities of Safari developers will shift towards fixing these problems, and we're ready to provide any help that's needed.

What to do

The ad blocking community has been sounding the alarm for years. Here are just some examples of feature requests that have been filed:

This one is particularly interesting as it would help fix the problem with YouTube ads.

There are many more, these are just some of the most pressing issues. Being a part of this community, we believe that we've done more than enough to draw Apple's attention to the problem. If more assistance of any kind is required, we'd be happy to provide any help we can.

We're at the point where changes absolutely have to come. Otherwise, everyone will lose — except for ad providers.

UPD: it seems things are changing in 2021. For instance, the 50k limit was raised to 150k, and that's not all.

EnchantedBelle200 I love this app so much! 💕

Is there any chance you could make it compatible with Tailscale? I use IOS for both apps, and right now I have to turn either AdGuard or Tailscale off to use the other.

HardyDimension_com Add to Chrome and forget...easy, simple and works well!
No need keep updating any filter lists manually.
Appreciate your work🙏💖

FAQ

  • An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
  • Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.
    AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
  • We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
  • Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.
    Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.
    AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
  • Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
  • You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:
    A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.
    With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.
    If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.
  • Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
  • We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
  • If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
  • You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.
    You can rate us in app stores and on our website. That’s how we know we’re on the right track.
    You can also become our contributor: maybe you’re good at translating, know how to improve our filters or the Knowledge base, or want to become a beta tester? We are grateful to our contributors and reward them in return — with AdGuard licenses and gifts.
  • For any questions, you can always contact us at support@adguard.com.

Este Aviso de Privacidad complementa la Política de Privacidad de AdGuard, disponible en adguard.com/privacy.html, que proporciona la información necesaria sobre los términos y condiciones del procesamiento de datos por parte de AdGuard.

Qué datos puede recopilar AdGuard Home y cuándo

Los registros de AdGuard Home y los registros de consultas DNS que procesa se almacenan en el dispositivo en el que se ejecuta AdGuard Home. El usuario administra estos registros y su conservación.
AdGuard Home no nos envía nada y todos los casos en los que se conecta a cualquier servidor están relacionados con su funcionalidad. Estos casos se describen a continuación.

Procesamiento de consultas DNS

AdGuard Home se conecta a los servidores DNS configurados como "Upstreams" y les envía consultas DNS.

Verificación de actualizaciones

AdGuard Home descarga periódicamente un archivo .json para verificar si hay una versión más reciente. No se envía ninguna información durante este proceso.

Verificación de actualizaciones de filtros

Para verificar las actualizaciones de los filtros activados, AdGuard Home se conecta a los servidores correspondientes. Cuando esto sucede, no se envía nada a estos servidores. AdGuard Home descarga periódicamente un archivo que contiene todas las versiones de los filtros y sus actualizaciones disponibles.

Verificación de dominios de Seguridad de Navegación (desactivado por defecto)

Para cada dominio solicitado, AdGuard Home se conecta al servidor de Seguridad de Navegación y envía un prefijo de 4 caracteres del hash SHA256 del nombre del dominio. El servidor responde con una lista de hashes completos y AdGuard Home verifica si hay alguna coincidencia. Los prefijos enviados no se almacenan y no revelan ninguna información personal.

Verificación de dominios de Control Parental (desactivado por defecto)

Para cada dominio solicitado, AdGuard Home se conecta al servicio web de Control Parental y envía un prefijo de 4 caracteres del hash SHA256 del nombre del dominio.
