Companies are getting better at tracking us online. If that doesn't sit well with you — or you just want to see fewer intrusive ads content blockers can help. These handy tools obliterate ads, block trackers, and protect your privacy, letting you get back to enjoying the best of the web. Here are six of the best content blocker apps.
If you're serious about blocking annoying web content on your devices, 1BLOCKER (free with inapp purchases from 1Blocker, 1blocker.com) should be at the top of your list. This Safari add-on extends the browser's capabilities on iPhone, iPad, and Mac in a way that is both comprehensive and easy to use. It shuts out irritating ads, nefarious trackers, and general annoyances like mobile app banners and stealthy cryptomining malware. That makes your browsing faster by removing slowdowns and protects your privacy at the same time.
