CLUSTER ADS-BLOCKER-SAFARI · 56 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-10-17
Safari ad and tracker blockers
This cluster is composed of Safari content blockers that remove ads, trackers, pop-ups, and often adult content, emphasizing faster browsing, lower data usage, battery savings, and privacy; many offer custom blacklists, whitelists, iCloud sync, and family-safety modes. Dated entries begin in September 2015 and continue through June 2026 in a steady trickle, with most months recording a single new product and occasional months recording two, showing a lengthy, low-volume pattern without a distinct upward or downward trend. Among the oldest date points, traction leaders include uShield: Browser AdBlocker, Ad Blocker for Safari Heimdall, and Lynx - Adblocker & privacy, though all exhibit low activity signals (0 stars each).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
