My Safari ad blocker, Magic Lasso Adblock now lets you also block ads and trackers across all apps on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac — not just in Safari.
This is a huge update to my app that is now available and took years of work to complete.
This release builds upon the powerful Safari and YouTube ad blocking features of earlier releases.
App Ad Blocking, included in Magic Lasso Adblock v5.0, is a local VPN proxy that extends ad blocking and tracking protection to:
- News apps
- Social media
- Games
- Other browsers like Chrome and Firefox
All ad blocking is done directly on your device, using a fast, efficient Swift-based architecture that follows a strict zero data collection policy.
With the new App Ad Blocking feature, you can:
- Block ads in your favourite apps – Whether you’re scrolling through social media, playing games, or reading the news (including Apple News), ads are blocked automatically — creating a cleaner, faster experience across your device.
- Block ads in any browser – Magic Lasso still blocks ads natively in Safari. But now it also blocks them in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers too — so you’re protected no matter what browser you use.
- Stop hidden in-app trackers – Many apps secretly track your activity and sell your data to third parties. App Ad Blocking helps shut down these trackers before they load, giving you stronger privacy everywhere.
- Speed up your internet – App Ad Blocking runs as a local VPN proxy — performing all ad blocking on your device, privately. It also routes traffic through a fast, private DNS, improving speed and reducing data leaks to your ISP.
