AdGuard Ad Blocker for Safari

Verdict

AdGuard is a Safari content blocker, not a standalone browser, and it does what it says for most ads but reviewers note it lets some ad types through and increasingly gates features behind a subscription.

Best for

Someone who already uses Safari as their main browser and just wants a content-blocker extension to strip out ads and trackers, not someone looking for a separate private browsing app.

Dealbreaker

Several reviewers say core blocking now requires a subscription where it used to be free, and even paid users report it still misses things like fake virus pop-ups and Facebook sponsored posts.
