wBlock overview
wBlock is powerful Safari content blocker that turns Safari into a cleaner, faster, and more private browsing experience while being completely free and open-source.
Features
- Userscript Support — Enhance your browsing with powerful userscripts that add features mainstream browsers can't. Bring back YouTube dislikes, bypass paywalls, customize social media feeds, and more. wBlock gives you the power to shape the web the way you want it.
- Lightning-Fast Performance — wBlock uses minimum RAM at idle, and is one of the lightest ad blockers available. Your browser stays fast and responsive while blocking ads, trackers, malware, and annoyances across every website you visit.
- Complete Control — Toggle blocking on individual sites with one click. Add custom filter lists to fine-tune protection. View detailed logs to troubleshoot issues. wBlock puts you in the driver's seat.
- Free & Open-Source Forever — No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no hidden fees. Block is completely free and always will be. The open-source codebase ensures complete transparency; you can verify exactly what the app does and how it protects your privacy.
- Privacy-First Design — wBlock runs entirely within Safari's content blocking API. There's no data collection, no tracking, and no system-level extensions that can monitor your browsing. Your privacy stays yours.
- Comprehensive Protection —Using AdGuard's comprehensive filters and more, wBlock blocks ads and trackers across the entire web. One-click filter updates keep protection current.

BTW: Finding wBlock app for iOS/iPadOS using Apple's Search is near impossible! [Grumble: Apple is notoriously lousy at search engines. Expletives withheld.] Therefore: Use iOS/iPadOS Safari and a 3rd party search engine to find the wBlock site. Then use their link to get to the App Store download page. You're welcome. ☺️

Tried it. Found it phoned home to RUSSIA: https://gitflic.ru -> There's a report about it on VirusTotal. Both Malwarebytes and Civilian Research and Development Foundation Global (CRDF) consider it "malicious" and block it. Digging around, I found that the RU site is the source of the wBlock script to bypass paywalls, such as for reading news articles. Gridinsoft, out of Kyiv, Ukraine, urges NOT using the RU site because of its association with the Russian war on Ukraine. - - If you want to try wBlock, I personally suggest turning OFF the script to bypass paywalls, removing the situation. Or just uninstall the app.
