Setup

AdsWard All · planned
A paid across-app option is planned, but is not available to buy or enable. Apple URL filtering covers only participating WebKit and URLSession traffic; it cannot cover every app or remove every ad or native-video ad.
Three steps for Safari
- Open an installed development build of AdsWard and let it prepare its rules. If preparation fails, retry before continuing.
- On iPhone or iPad, open Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions (on older iOS: Settings → Safari → Extensions). On Mac, open Safari → Settings → Extensions. Enable all four AdsWard content blockers.
- Return to AdsWard and check protection, then reload existing Safari pages. Advanced is separate: enable its Safari extension, grant access to the websites you choose, and turn on Advanced in AdsWard. The app switch alone cannot confirm Safari permission.
Honest limits
Blocking depends on installed rules, Safari settings and website access. Some ads, trackers and changing sites may escape; page cleanup cannot unlock paid content. Safari does not provide a blocked-request count. Optional consent rejection acts only on supported dialogs; unknown dialogs are left alone.
