About
1Blocker is a Safari content blocker that removes ads, trackers, and distracting elements from websites. It works natively with Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, delivering 2–5x faster page loads by letting Safari handle blocking before content loads. The app requires minimal setup—flip a switch to start—and receives automatic cloud updates to its filters. Advanced users can create custom rules using regular expressions to block URLs or CSS selectors to hide elements, and block cookies (Premium). 1Blocker doesn't access webpages or track you; it's funded through direct sales, not ad networks or acceptable-ads programs. Preferences and custom rules sync across devices via iCloud.
