Intrusive advertising, how we are tired of it. The advertisement itself was created in order to help us decide which product is better to use, as well as which product is better to purchase. But it happens that on a smartphone or tablet, for no reason, ads pop up, or when the browser is running while surfing the Internet, because some sites are simply full of it.

In the menus, applications, on the desktop of your iPad, even malware can perform these unwanted actions. How to remove the virus and finally get rid of ads? This and not only we will analyze in this article.

We get rid of ads in the official Internet browser from Apple Safari. With this difficult task, we will be helped by special utilities that are configured to block ads and pop-up banners while surfing the Internet.

1 The first type is advertising that does not cause difficulties for the user when viewing the site, these signs, as a rule, are located on the side of the main content and do not cause any troubles, except for people who are not particularly receptive to advertising. 2 The second type is pop-up banners. They appear when you go to the site and interfere with the use of content. Sometimes, when you close them, you will still be redirected to the advertiser's website. 3 The third type is malicious or viral. This type of banner is quite rare, but, as they say, aware means armed. This type can block the ipad and ask you to transfer money to a certain account to unlock the device.

Of course, after transferring money, no one will unlock the device for you, you will simply lose your time and money. Also, when you go to the site, an advertising virus, the so-called "spammer", may be automatically downloaded to your tablet. This virus is cunning in that it shows you ads all over your device, in the menu, tablet settings, contacts, and so on.

In the browser settings, go to the content blocking rules subsection, after which a new window will appear in front of you, in which you need to turn on the switch to the enabled position next to the Apply Adguard content blocking rules or similar.

How do I remove ads by disabling JavaScript?

You can do this in the following way - Go to the next path, the settings section of your device. Find the browser you are using.

Go to the subsection of the add-on in this way, then move the slider next to the JavaScript inscription to the off position. Now your device is protected from pop-ups, but there is one drawback.

JavaScript not always used for bad purposes, in many sites this programming language is used to help validate the entered content in forms or output the results of actions on this site, so it is not always prudent to turn it off.

Viruses

To deal with the latter type of advertising, it will not be enough just to block it. This type of advertising is produced by virus spammers. Advertising can appear not only when browsing sites, but also within the operating system itself.

To deal with them, it is enough to install an antivirus on the device, which will help remove viruses already living inside your device and prevent the installation of new malware on your device.

Advertising is a necessary evil of the modern Internet, with its help I pay my bills for most sites. But most people put up with it because they have to, not because they want to. If you prefer to block ads on the web and your iPhone is running iOS 9 or later, I have good news for you: you can turn it off.

You can do this because iOS - the operating system that runs on your iPhone - supports ad blocking apps.

Content blocking tools are apps you install on your iPhone that add new features to the Safari browser that the built-in iPhone browser didn't have originally. It's like additional keyboards - separate applications running in other applications that support them. This means that in order to block ads, you will need to install at least one such application.

iOS users can block ads.

After installing such an application on the iPhone, it usually works like this: When you visit a site, the application checks the list of advertising services and servers. When detected, the application blocks their loading on the page. Some of these applications take a more complex approach. They block not only ads, but also the tracking cookies used by advertisers based on their URLs.

Ad Blocking Benefits: Speed, Traffic, Battery

• Websites load faster - The way ads are added to the site makes ad pages load slower. If there is no need to download ads from other servers, the page will load faster;
• You use less traffic - Since ads are blocked, you don't have to use your paid traffic to download them. The developers of one of the blocking applications claim up to 50% savings in traffic. I don't think most people will be able to save that much, but still the volume should be noticeable;
• Battery saver - The technologies companies use to create ads and track user activity can reduce iPhone battery life. Blocking ads and tracking cookies will save your battery.

One drawback should be noted. Some sites use programs that detect ad blocking and prevent you from viewing the page until you disable the ad blocker. You can find out why this is done in the section “You can block ads, but costs whether? at the end of this article.

How to install an ad blocking app?

5. Click safari
6. Scroll the screen and press content blockers
7. Find the app installed in step 2 and move the slider to the ON/Green position
8. Start using the Safari browser (these applications do not work with other browsers) and note that the ads are gone!

How to block pop-ups on iPhone?

Ad blocking apps can block all kinds of ads and tracking files, but if you only want to block annoying pop-ups, then you don't have to install anything. Pop-up blocking is built into the Safari browser. You can enable it like this:

1. Click Settings
2. Click safari

List of ad blocker apps for iPhone?

This is not a complete list, we have included the best applications in our opinion:

You can block ads, but costs whether?

These apps allow you to block ads, but before you start, you might want to think about how this will affect the sites you like.

Almost all sites on the Internet receive most of their income from displaying ads to visitors. If ads are blocked, the site will not receive money. And the money received from showing ads goes to pay authors and editors, they pay for servers, equipment, photos, travel and much more. Without these revenues, the site you used to visit every day may simply stop working.

Many people still prefer to take risks: online advertising has become too annoying, it eats up a lot of traffic and phone battery power, and users decide to use everything they can. I'm not saying ad blocking is bad or good, but make sure you fully understand the meaning of the technology you're using.

Hi all! Banners... a problem that is well known to owners of computers with the Windows operating system, has also reached iOS. To be honest, I learned about this “virus” quite recently and was very surprised. Why? Yes, because I was sure that those who use the iPhone and iPad would not face any "misfortunes" in terms of software, but ... this was a misconception.

On the other hand, the problem is quite rare (judging by the number of comments on this article, I was wrong here - such banners are attacked more and more often) and from all these pop-up windows in Safari, as well as other unpleasant things that have settled on your iPhone and iPad , quite easily get rid of in just a couple of minutes. Let's find out how to remove this disgrace? Let's go! :)

So, at one “perfect” moment, when you open the browser, you see such a banner and a message:

Which obviously interferes, and in some cases (if the ransomware banner is large) completely blocks Safari from working on an iOS device.

Naturally, the text of the message can be different, but the essence comes down to one thing - your gadget is blacklisted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (oh-oh-oh) and to remove this “virus” you need to pay a certain fine. The amount of which depends on the impudence of the creator of the Locker program. You can catch such an infection when visiting various low-quality sites and it is not your fault.

The first thing to remember is, of course, not to send any SMS, not to replenish your Qiwi wallet and not to conduct any financial transactions. This is a common trick of scammers, if you transfer money, the pop-up window will not be removed (simply because they will not be able to do this).

But this does not mean that you yourself will not be able to unlock your iPhone or iPad from an annoying banner.

There are two ways to do this:

1. with iPhone and iPad - a radical way. We get a phone or tablet “out of the box” and enjoy life. The disadvantages are obvious - for a long time and we lose information (if you do not use backup in or).
2. Clear the history of Safari (as well as other browsers, if installed) and most importantly, delete Cookies. The easiest and painless option. How to do it?

We go into the main settings and find the item Safari. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and find "clear history and site data".

This is exactly what we need!

Feel free to press and confirm the action. Yes, the information about which websites you visited will disappear (bookmarks, passwords and form data will remain), but the annoying banner will also be deleted along with it, which is what we were trying to achieve.

Although advertising is called the engine of progress, there are too many of them on some sites. Particularly annoying are pop-up advertising messages, trying with all their might to send the user to another tab or even to the application page in the App Store. Special ad blockers can help you deal with ads in Safari on iPhone and iPad once and for all, the installation of which will be discussed in this guide.

Banners on the Web when surfing with the Safari mobile browser can be divided into three conditional types:

• Acceptable - the usual advertising banners that do not differ in any antics. They just look at the user from the side panels of the site, only the most intolerant people to advertising cause indignation
• Annoying - pop-up messages when going to a site or page, which most often, even when closing, take the user to the advertised page.
• Malicious - blocking Safari banners that require you to transfer a certain amount of money to the hacker to unlock. It is not very easy to stumble upon such banners, but wherever the address bar leads users.

Step 1: Go to the App Store and download one of the popular Safari ad blockers like Adguarg

Step 2: Launch the application Settings

Step 3. Go to item safari -> Content blocking rules

Step 4: Activate the ad blocker you downloaded from the App Store

In most cases, after that, you will need to launch the blocker application, which will activate and configure the necessary settings. Once the installation is complete, you can try the blocker in action - launch Safari and go to the site where the ads annoyed you before.

Note: Almost all ad blockers have settings that users can change manually. You can configure a lot: white list, blocking rules, select available filters, etc.
