Ghostery Privacy Ad Blocker for iPhone

Brief overview

Ghostery Privacy Ad Blocker is a free Safari extension that streamlines web browsing by removing distractions and protecting personal information. It speeds up page loads, keeps intrusive ads from appearing, stops many trackers from collecting data, and gets rid of repetitive cookie consent dialogs. The extension has been installed by more than 100 million people worldwide.

Primary advantages

• Stops tracking scripts and prevents companies from linking activity back to you, helping protect your browsing privacy.
• Automatically closes or ignores cookie consent banners so you can continue without interruptions.
• Removes a wide range of advertisements on sites such as YouTube and Facebook, creating a cleaner, faster browsing experience.

How the extension protects you

Ghostery combines three complementary protections to improve privacy and usability:

• Tracker blocking — identifies and halts common trackers to reduce data collection about your behavior.
• Consent automation — dismisses or hides cookie permission prompts so they don’t interrupt your visits.
• Ad filtering — blocks many visual ads and scripts that slow pages or clutter content.

Other options to consider

If you’re exploring alternatives, you can try other privacy-focused tools or browser-native options that offer similar protections, such as ad blockers, tracker-blockers, or browsers with built-in anti-tracking features.
