Sep 14, 2017 There were some exceptions to this, such as being able to individually exempt websites from your ad blocker based on the plugin’s settings, but most settings were applied to all websites. This now changes in Safari 11, which will be released as part of macOS High Sierra on September 25, 2017. Our top recommendation is be the donation-ware Safari extension AdBlock, which deals with graphical ads, text ads and even ads in YouTube videos. AdBlock also lets you whitelist pages on sites. The easy way to block ads on your Mac. Annoying ads like pop-ups, video ads, banners and ads disguised as content are things of the past thanks to Adblock Plus (ABP)! Safari users enjoy a peaceful and delightful web experience when using Adblock Plus, the world’s number 1 ad blocker. No disruptive ads. No nasty viruses. Luckily, the uBlock MacOS app has you covered, making uBlock the best ad blocker for Safari12. UBlock will block annoying ads, obnoxious YouTube ads, and intrusive trackers. It will also block most pop-up ads and help protect against some forms of malware. Ad blockers for mac. May 30, 2019 4 Best ad blockers for macOS as of 2020 - Slant uBlock Origin (as a Firefox addon), AdGuard, and AdBlock Plus are probably your best bets out of the 4 options considered. 'Promised to remain commercial interest free' is the primary reason people pick uBlock Origin (as a Firefox addon) over the competition.
