With our adblocker installed on your iPhone or iPad, sites load much faster since commercial content gets deactivated. If you’re polyglot browsing in different languages every day, enable all language filters, and you’re good to go. Simply put, if you speak French and consume web content in French, then you should enable (yep, you get it right) French filter. Rules are lines of code that detect ads by certain traces and then disable them.Īpart from general filters, AdLock provides elaborated (togglable) language filters geared to process websites popular among specified language audiences. Here are the results:ĪdLock uses a set of filters (over 200,000 blocking rules in total) that brush off all intrusive adverts, undesired redirects, tons of unnecessary (and potentially harmful) elements, and scripts that drive us mad.Įver wondered what filter is and how it works? As we’ve mentioned, a filter is a collection of rules that determine what to block on the website.

Sketching the initial variant of the interface we thought upon creating two themes - dark and light.

Hassle-free, convenient, and easy on the eyes - that’s how we saw AdLock for iPhone Safari. We tried to keep the concept of minimalism and smooth transition used in our Windows and Android applications. Let’s start with design and consider the approach we utilized while working on the visual representation of our product. It is natively designed to extend Safari, provide a maximum adblocking impact, and remain resource-efficient in any circumstances. What’s AdLock for iOS? It’s a brand-new, well-elaborated adblocker for iPhone and iPad users. We’ve set a goal and started working more than hard to reach it in every way possible. Countless restrictions and complexities caused the majority of developers to abandon Safari. Due to Apple’s limitations, supporting some of the filtering syntaxes like JavaScript, CSS, ExtendedCSS rules became a struggle for Safari ad-blockers.

To recall, with the release of iOS 13, Apple quietly turned off the ability for ad-blocking companies to use their own blocking mechanisms in the Safari browser. Also, Apple is always eager to introduce new restrictions for ad blockers. A limited number of rules, different semantics, native technologies and libraries which have very little in common with other programming languages. We’ve delivered a full-featured application for both Windows and Android devices, but there were always a number of problems on our way to create a comprehensive solution for iOS and macOS devices.
