Description
Most ad blockers stop the easy stuff. Vibe Shield goes further.
We built Vibe Shield because we were tired of ads slipping through -- the ones that dodge generic filter lists, the cookie walls that rebuild themselves, the tracking scripts that hide behind first-party domains. If it interrupts your browsing, we want it gone.
Vibe Shield is a free Safari ad blocker for iOS and macOS that combines network-level blocking with CSS element hiding and anti-adblock countermeasures. That means fewer blank spaces where ads used to be, fewer "please disable your ad blocker" nag screens, and fewer trackers phoning home in the background.
BLOCKS WHAT OTHERS MISS
- Ads -- Banner ads, video ads, pop-unders, and ad network scripts including stubborn ones that evade standard filter lists
- Trackers -- Analytics, fingerprinting, and cross-site tracking scripts that follow you around the web
- Annoyances -- Cookie consent banners, newsletter popups, nag screens, and anti-adblock walls that try to guilt you into disabling protection
- Social Widgets -- Share buttons, like buttons, and social media embeds that track you even when you don't click them
Our blocking rules are actively maintained as ad networks evolve -- so you don't have to think about it.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROTECTION
Toggle each category on or off to dial in exactly the level of blocking you want. Changes take effect on the next page load -- no app restart needed.
WHITELIST SITES YOU TRUST
Some sites depend on ads to survive and deserve your support. Add them to your whitelist and Vibe Shield steps aside completely on those domains. Easy to add, easy to remove.
PRIVACY FIRST
Vibe Shield collects nothing. No tracking, no accounts, no servers, no data collection of any kind. Your browsing data never leaves your device. The extension uses Safari's declarativeNetRequest API for efficient, privacy-preserving blocking that never reads your page content.
We don't know what sites you visit. We don't want to.
COMPLETELY FREE
No premium tier, no subscriptions, no ads, no upsells. Vibe Shield is completely free.
