uBlock Origin for Safari: Does It Work?

Searching for uBlock Origin on Safari? You will quickly hit a wall: uBlock Origin is not available as a proper Safari extension. Apple uses a different content-blocking system, so you need a blocker built for Safari.

How ad blocking works on Safari

Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac supports content blockers — apps that hand Safari a list of things to block. It is a different design from Chrome extensions, which is why Chrome blockers do not carry over.

A native Safari ad blocker

All Block has a native Safari app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It blocks ads and trackers across Safari, loads pages faster, and uses less data and battery.

Set it up

1. Install the All Block app for Safari from the App Store.
2. Enable it in Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions (or Safari settings on Mac).
3. Grant access to websites, and you are done.

If you also use Chrome or Edge, All Block works there too, so your ad blocking follows you across devices.
