Frequently Asked Questions
Is De-Ad completely free?
Yes. The core ad-blocking functionality is 100% free and open source. We offer optional paid themes for the app interface as a way to support development, but they do not affect blocking performance.
Does this work on YouTube?
De-Ad works within the Safari browser. If you watch YouTube via Safari on your iPhone, ads will be blocked. It cannot block ads inside the standalone YouTube app due to iOS restrictions.
Will De-Ad slow down Safari?
No, De-Ad actually makes Safari faster. By blocking ads and trackers before they load, pages load quicker and use less data. Content blocking happens at the engine level using Apple's native API.
Can I disable De-Ad for specific sites?
Yes. De-Ad includes a Site Rescue feature (whitelist) that allows you to disable blocking for specific websites where you want to support the creators or where blocking causes issues.
