IPhone ad blocker 5. iPhone ad blockers. Installing the Adblock add-on

Regardless of what device you use, there is a thing that annoys absolutely everyone - it's advertising. Today we are going to talk about how you can remove ads on your iPad and iPhone.

The topic is very interesting, because we face this problem almost every day, and we know absolutely nothing about the ways to get rid of.

How to disable ads in apps on iPhone / iPad?

As you can imagine, everyone wants to eat, and therefore, by downloading the free version of the product, you get a lot of ads that appear everywhere.

The ways to deal with this phenomenon are quite simple, and now I will list them:

• We turn off the Internet. All advertising usually comes from the Internet, so by simply turning it off, you very easily get rid of this problem.
• We pay money for disconnection. With the option when the toy is online, it is impossible to play without the Internet. Here you have to pay for the premium version.

Now is the era of applications, when everything seems to be free, but at the same time we get a lot of advertising. In some cases, this is tolerable, but there are times that it is simply impossible to use.

How to remove ads in Safari on iPad / iPhone?

Many users of their devices prefer Safari as their default browser. It is especially convenient when you have a MacBook or iMac and everything is synchronized.


Naturally, there are a lot of advertisements that can be found when looking for information you need. You can get rid of it in one way - "blockers".

Starting with iOS 9, it became possible to install applications on your iPhone and iPad that simply remove ads from their roots. Here are a couple of them:

• Crystal (paid);
• Adblock Fast (free);
• Purify Blocker (paid);
• 1Blocker (free);
• Blockr (paid).

As you can see, there are both free and paid versions. The choice is already yours and do not forget that sometimes everything does not work as correctly as we would like.

How to remove ads on YouTube on iPad / iPhone?

Well, the last case where you can most often find advertising is YouTube. Its popularity has grown dramatically in recent years.


Surely you love to watch a lot of videos on your iPad and iPhone, because it is quite convenient to do this on large screens.

But, as soon as you get a taste of watching a video, annoying ads immediately appear and sometimes it cannot be removed after five seconds.

The only solution to the problem is "YouTube Red"... This is the name of the paid subscription from this site and one of the advantages is watching videos without ads.

In addition to comfortable viewing, we are also given a bunch of different possibilities:

• watching videos offline, save and watch later;
• playing in the background, most often it is more convenient to use with music;
• free access to Google Play Music.

All this miracle costs 12 dollars a month. How much the subscription justifies itself, I do not know, but you can definitely save your nerves, because you will not see ads anymore.

Outcome

In fact, this is probably all that I wanted to tell you about how you can remove ads on your iPad or iPhone. It seems I listed all the cases.

Perhaps I missed something and if so, then write in the comments what exactly and I will definitely add information about it.

Obsessive advertising, how tired of it we are. The advertisement itself was created in order to help us decide which product is better to use, as well as which product is better to buy. But it happens that on a smartphone or tablet, for no reason, an advertisement pops up, or when the browser is running while surfing the Internet, because some sites are simply full of it.

Even a malicious program can perform these unwanted actions in menus, applications, on the desktop of your iPad. How to remove a virus and finally get rid of ads? This and not only we will analyze in this article.

We get rid of ads in the official Internet browser from Apple Safari. With this difficult task, we will be helped by special utilities that are configured to block ads and pop-up banners while surfing the Internet.

1 The first type is advertising that does not cause difficulties for the user when viewing the site, these signs, as a rule, are located on the side of the main content and do not cause any troubles, except for people who are not particularly susceptible to advertising. 2 The second type is pop-up banners. They appear when you go to the site and interfere with the use of the content. Sometimes, when you close them, you will still be redirected to the advertiser's website. 3 The third type is malicious or viral. This type of banner is quite rare, but, as they say, knowledgeable means armed. This type can block the ipad and ask you to transfer money to an account to unlock the device.

Of course, after transferring money, no one will unlock your device, you just lose your time and money. Also, when you go to the site, an ad virus, the so-called "spam", may be automatically downloaded to your tablet. This virus is tricky in that it shows you ads all over your device, in menus, tablet settings, contacts, and so on.

Block ads on ipad by installing helper apps

The top application in this area is the well-known Adguard program, which is suitable for almost any device, be it a personal computer or a smartphone. It can be installed very simply. First, go to the AppStore, write Adguard in the search bar and install this application. Launch Adguard , then go to the section of customizing your own tablet.

In the settings section, find the browser you use, for example Safari, then click on it. In the browser settings, go to the subsection of content blocking rules, after which a new window will appear in which you need to turn on the switch to the on position next to the Apply Adguard content blocking rules or similar message.

Now you need to initialize the blocker application, for this you just need to start it, it will configure itself and apply all the necessary rules. After all the operations done, you can test the application by going to the site on which there was an advertisement that annoyed you.

How to remove Adguard?

If for some reason you no longer need an anti-adware application, you can simply uninstall it. Before that, go to the settings section of your tablet and disable the Adguard content filter, after which you can simply uninstall it like any application on your device.

How did I remove ads by disabling JavaScript?

You can do this as follows - Go to the next path, the section for configuring your device. Find the browser you are using.

In this way, navigate to the add-ons subsection, and then move the slider next to JavaScript to the off position. Now your device is protected from pop-ups, but there is one drawback.

JavaScript is not always used for bad purposes, on many sites this programming language is used to help validate the entered content in forms or display the results of actions on this site, so it is not always prudent to disable it.

Viruses

To deal with the latter type of advertising will not be enough just to block it. This type of advertising is produced by virus programs "spammers". Ads can appear not only when browsing sites, but also inside the operating system itself.

To deal with them, it is enough to install an antivirus on the device, which will help remove viruses already living inside your device and prevent the installation of new malicious programs on your device.

Safari is the fourth most popular browser in the world, it is installed on all gadgets from the Cupertino company. In addition, there is a version of the browser designed for Windows PC users.

Safari has a high speed of work, a pleasant interface, and the top sites tab of the most popular sites is made in 3D. The web viewer also has disadvantages:

there is no search option from the address bar;

when one tab is open, there is no button to open the second tab (you can open it through the menu or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + T;

inability to connect extensions.

Adblock Safari Features

What does Adblock for Safari do? Let's take a closer look. The range of capabilities of the browser extension is quite large:

blocking pop-ups;

protection of users from visiting unwanted, so-called “phishing” sites.

Pop-ups in Safari are another surprise that site owners have in store for us. Surely you are familiar with the situation when you want to read an article, but the splash screen in full screen prevents you from doing so. On the one hand, the splash screen is shown for a few seconds, and this could be accepted. But on the other hand, there is a negative psychological effect that spoils all the pleasure of surfing the Internet.

Antiphishing - protection against malicious and fraudulent sites

Another feature of the browser extension for Safari is anti-phishing control.

If you have a Mac computer, Adblock Safari will take care of your information security and block access to fraudulent and phishing sites. It is no secret that there are a lot of scammers on the Internet who hunt for logins and passwords from social media pages, for access to popular websites, and also steal PIN codes and CVV codes from bank cards. How it's done? Let's say there is a bank site privat24.ua. A fraudster makes a resource that looks like a real one, but differs in one letter in the domain name, for example, pvivat24.ua. And then you need to make sure that the victim goes to a fraudulent site. You can send a letter to an email address, or you can infect your computer with a virus that will redirect the user to a fake site.

The victim enters his username and password, and they become known to hackers. The bank sends its client a password to enter online banking (two-factor authentication). The attacker immediately enters this temporary password on the real site - access to other people's money is provided.

Another opportunity for a hacker to profit from someone else's expense is to create a fake online store. The user makes payment for the goods, the money is withdrawn from the card, but, of course, the person does not receive any goods and (or) services.

But how does the program know which sites are trusted and which are not? The database is updated by the users themselves, who must perform certain actions in the browser for this. Read on for more details.

If the site is spammy or fraudulent, click on the add-on button, then "report this site" and indicate the reason for the complaint.

You can complain about:

incorrect display of the site;

In addition, you can indicate your reason for contacting. After entering the text of the complaint, click on the green button "send complaint".

A new page will open, where you can not only see the verdict on the site you have chosen, but also leave your own feedback about it.

Why is Adguard better than just Anti-Banner? Let's figure it out. Adguard is a three-in-one program:

anti-banner;

anti-phishing;

anti-tracking.

What is "anti-banner" and "anti-phishing", we examined in detail above. Now let's look at what anti-tracking is. This function allows you to block any counters and tracking tools. In other words, this option of the Adguard program is aimed at achieving privacy on the Internet.

Adguard Assistant

Unlike the extension, the application includes the "Assistant" function. In order to go to the assistant, click on the green circle in the lower right corner of your browser screen.

Adguard has a parental control function, and this also compares favorably with the browser extension. Parents can easily block their children access to materials marked "18+".

Adguard was originally targeted at Runet. Indeed, the program works best in the Russian-speaking segment of the World Wide Web. However, when you browse the site in any other language, the application will automatically add the necessary filters so that you can enjoy a clean and safe Internet.

The purpose of this system is not to search and filter out ads, but to monitor the web activity of a particular workstation as a whole. As part of 1Blocker over 7,000 pre-activated individual mechanisms and blockers targeting personal opponents. These include scripts, pop-up ads, analytical engine robots, secondary browser requests, etc. The official description says that 1Blocker is able to reduce traffic by 50% without reducing the efficiency of web surfing. This means a proportional decrease in iPhone battery consumption and some savings in provider fees.

In order to 1Blocker entered into business, after installation, you need to visit the standard application with the settings: Preferences -\u003e Safari -\u003e Content Blocking Rules on this device. Fine calibration of the utility is carried out in its own window and it is worth noting that this application is distinguished by a democratic approach to the selection of censorship objects. There is no problem to disable widgets for Facebook, leaving those active for Twitter, block the use of cookies and special fonts, but instruct not to interfere with the activity of trackers. There is a separate switch for 18+ content, and you can simply blacklist a specific suspicious address.

For a thoughtful adherent of the IT sphere, the filter system provides ample scope for creativity - it provides for the creation of highly specialized rules for moderating web resources. There is a possibility of blocking at different levels of domain names, creating a quarantine and "green zone", drawing up URL filters using quantitative operands like "*", "+", "?" etc. All rules are optionally combined into packages and templates that can be exported between workstations and exchange successful assemblies with colleagues.

To simplify the procedure, my.1blocker.com hosts a web editor containing a complete set of tools for drafting, editing and applying rules. The smartphone is not very convenient for fiddling with lengthy lists - there are script adaptation mechanisms that can be compiled on a MacBook, but applied on any required platforms. If desired, it is not so difficult to form a task for a robot that will flexibly maneuver between documents, tables, styles, SVG files, cookies, pop-up windows, blocking especially what the author of a particular virtual barrier indicated.

It's time to fight annoying hidden ads on websites that redirect you to the App Store. While Apple is demonstratively inactive, we have prepared six ways to deal with redirects in iOS.

Recently, I began to often notice that from some sites, the reputation of which is beyond doubt, I was transferred to the App Store on the pages of different applications. At the same time, a dialog box with confirmation of consent to the transition does not appear, and many sites then do not load to the end.

Among them were Last.fm, Reddit, The verge, MacRumors, Metacritic and many others. Moreover, the redirection occurs not only from the standard Safari browser, but when you open the site in Google Chrome or Opera Coast for iOS.

Apple is aware of this issue, which is confirmed by the changelog back in iOS 8 Beta 2:

Safari now blocks ads from automatically redirecting to the App Store without user interaction

But the problem still exists even on devices with the newest and on.

There are several ways to fix the redirect problem in iOS while we wait for an official decision from Apple.

Important! Before trying any of the methods below, I i recommend clear the browser cache ( Settings -\u003e Safari -\u003e Delete Cookies and Data) and block cookies ( Setting -\u003e Safari -\u003e Block Cookies -\u003e Always). These simple steps can help redirect some sites.

Method one. Disabling Javascript

This method will 100 percent solve your problems with any redirects, and many other advertising technologies will be much less annoying. The disadvantage is that many sites on the modern Internet are very tightly tied to Java scripts, and after such a shutdown it will be impossible to use them. Unfortunately, none of the iOS browsers I know support partial Javascript blocking for certain sites, which would be the perfect solution.

Javascript is disabled in Onstrokes -\u003e Safari -\u003e Add-ons -\u003e Javascript.

Method two. Using the Dolphin Browser

For those who are ready to abandon the Safari browser or, for example, its closest competitor in the form of Google Chrome, the problem with annoying redirects is solved by installing the browser Dolphin [Download in App Store]. Dolphin free and pretty easy to use.

The built-in AdBlock in this browser perfectly copes with this kind of advertising. It is included in the browser settings.

Method three. Using Weblock.

Weblock - a special application that allows you to block ads or any other resources in all applications of the iOS system, not just in the browser. There is only one "but" - Weblock works exclusively for connections via Wi-Fi, since in fact it is a very flexible and customizable proxy for each specific user. You can download it for 119 rubles in the App Store. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the lack of Russian localization.

>

To use Weblock, you need to configure your connection via Wi-Fi according to the instructions in the application itself (you need to go to Settings -\u003e Wi-Fi -\u003e * your network name * -\u003e HTTP Proxy -\u003e Auto and substitute there a link that will be generated for you by the application).

Method four. Configuring restrictions.

IOS provides a whole system of restrictionswhich allows you to customize the use of your device by applications and content. If you disable the App Store using it, then the advertising redirects simply won't work, allowing you to continue surfing the web without any problems.

The App Store is disabled as follows: Settings -\u003e Restrictions -\u003e Install Programs... Any link leading to the App Store will simply stop working after that. The disadvantages of this method are obvious - life is boring and dull without an application store, and it is quite tedious to turn on and off restrictions on the App Store all the time.

The fifth method. Full AdBlock from Cydia.

Jailbreak gives you access to a huge variety of tweaks and applications, with which you can solve almost any problem or flaw in iOS, and just customize the system to fit your needs. Just two installed applications from Cydia will help us solve not only the issue of advertising redirects in the App Store, but also completely and completely forget about advertising.

First tweak - Untrusted Hosts Blocker from the repo.thireus.com repository. He edits the file / etc / hosts in the system, blocking connections to 38 thousand advertising resources.

The second one is (for iOS 8 the second version is used) from the BigBoss repository, which allows you to block any ads.

This option has only two drawbacks - a jailbreak is required, which means that the option is not suitable for devices on the newest versions of iOS. In addition, the AdBlocker tweak is not free ($ 2 in the Cydia store).

Sixth method. NoAppStoreRedirect tweak from Cydia
