About Ka-Block!
Ka-Block! is a content blocker for Safari that prevents ads and tracking scripts from slowing down web pages you visit. Many sites use third-party scripts to track your behavior across the web, causing pages to load slowly and draining your phone’s battery. Blocking these scripts dramatically improves page load time, data usage, and battery life. Many sites use third-party scripts to track your behavior across the web. This requires an enormous number of requests, which drain your phone’s battery. Advertisements are not optimized for the mobile web. They consume a huge amount of bandwidth, causing pages to load slowly. The extension makes a network connection, downloads the list again, and stores it in memory. Some ad blocker extensions take this opportunity to store unique information about us on their servers. Sites visited, links clicked, type of browser, and operating system information can all be stored on their server to build a profile of each user.
