What it blocks
Three kinds of clutter.
One switch each.
AdStop sorts everything it stops into ads, trackers and annoyances, in the same colors you'll see in the app.
Ads
TrackersWhoever's watching.
Analytics and cross-site tracking that follow you from page to page.
- Analytics and measurement pixels
- Cross-site tracking scripts
- Social buttons that track you, if you like
AnnoyancesEverything else in the way.
Each one a switch, so you decide what counts as clutter.
- Cookie banners, declined for you
- Pop-ups and “open in app” banners
- “Turn off your ad blocker” walls
Malware and scam sites13 regional listsLists that refresh themselves
Cookie banners
Declined for you. Every time.
When a site asks about cookies, AdStop answers “Reject all” before you even see the question.
- More than 1,300 consent tools and sitesAdStop knows where their reject button is.
- Never clicks AcceptOn banners it doesn't know, it only acts when there is a reject button.
- You see it happenAdStop counts every banner it declined, today and over time.

FAQ
Good to know.
Which Macs does AdStop run on?
Any Mac with macOS 26 or later. AdStop works in Safari.
How do I turn it on?
Open AdStop and click Turn On AdStop. It opens Safari's settings and waits while you switch on its extensions, then checks that blocking works on a test page. It takes about a minute.
A site doesn't work right. What now?
Click AdStop in Safari's toolbar and choose Pause on this site. Nothing is blocked there until you switch it back on.
An ad slipped through.
Use Hide an element in the toolbar button and click the box; it stays hidden on that site. The block lists also refresh every few days, and ⌘R in AdStop refreshes them right away.
Does AdStop accept cookies for me?
Never. It chooses “Reject all”, using rules for more than 1,300 consent tools and sites, and on other banners only when they offer a reject button.
Why does AdStop Insights ask for access to all websites?
To count what the blockers stopped on each page and to decline cookie banners wherever they appear. What it records stays on your Mac.
Does AdStop see or send my browsing?
Nothing leaves your Mac. The log of what was blocked lives in AdStop's own storage on your Mac and is deleted after 30 days, or right away with Clear Log.
Where do the block lists come from?
From open, community-maintained filter lists such as EasyList and EasyPrivacy, plus 13 regional lists. See the acknowledgements for every source.
Give Safari a clean slate.
Turn it on once. AdStop keeps the ads out, the banners declined and the lists fresh.
