How to install Adblock Plus on Safari

Adblock Plus is finally available for Safari, albeit in beta form. You can install it in just a few clicks.

Ads are part of the Web, and something we are likely to never truly get away from. But that's not going to stop users from trying to rid browsing sessions from the (sometimes) annoying ads.

By installing plug-ins such as Adblock Plus (ABP), users are able to eliminate some of the more distracting ads on sites. Until recently Adblock Plus wasn't available for Apple's Safari browser. That changed earlier this month when Adblock Plus announced it was releasing a Safari extension in beta.

Installing the beta extension is simple and only takes a few seconds of your time.

First you'll need to visit this page on the Adblock Plus site. Not only will you find a link to download the extension here, but you'll also find a list of known issues and bugs. I recommend reading through the list to make sure you are aware of what behaviors to expect from the extension. Click on the big green button at the bottom of the page when you're ready to download the beta.

After the file is downloaded, double-click to install it. A warning prompt will show up asking you to confirm you do indeed want to install the extension. Click Install.

The extension will then be installed and an icon will be placed in your toolbar. Clicking on the icon will reveal stats for ads blocked, as well as link you to the settings section of Adblock Plus.

In the settings you'll find the option to whitelist some sites you don't mind displaying ads, as well as the ability to disable the whitelist Adblock Plus has already created. By charging some advertisers, ABP creates a list of advertisers that will still be visible. To disable this list, go to the first page of the Settings section and uncheck the box next to "Allow some non-intrusive advertising."

Going forward, any updates rolled out to the beta will be automatically applied, making the install process a one-time ordeal. If you find any bugs and want to report them, you can do so here

Good - but needs status indicator

EDIT: Developer indicated that Apple does not allow the AdBlock icon to change color when Active vs Inactive. That's frustrating but I'm grateful for the Developer's feedback. FYI Apple - a bit more Developer leniency would be helpful in cases like these to enhance the user experience. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Works well for me - but why doesn't the icon gray out when I pause ad blocking? If I forget to turn it back on, the icon just remains blue and I forget that it's still paused. Please fix.

Developer Response ,

Hi, The blue icon is not something we can change -- Apple does not provide the functionality to gray out the icon if a app is active on a particular page. Because AdBlock is allowing ads, according to Apple, that means it's active. We wish we could change the behavior but we can't! Please do provide your feedback to Apple since this is something they can change. --AdBlock Support

Ad Block forever

Ad Block customer (forever). My MacBook and I - as an internet user(s) can never be without Ad Block. My daily 16 hours internet viewing and/or usage would not be as enjoyable, time efficient or educational - if I was constantly distracted with solitations, promotional items and marketing of products sent to me that I never need or will never purchase - I would not own a computer.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm so happy to hear AdBlock has improved your browsing experience. --AdBlock Support

Stopped Working

I've been using this specific adblock for years and although it works on some of the other machines I own it has stopped working as intended recently. Every now and then an ad would slip by which a quick refresh would fix but now ads still pop up but are blacked out with audio still coming from the ads. I don't think this recent behaviour is deserving of anything less than 3 stars but imo is no longer that 5 star product I used to love.

• Why does a brand new MacBook Air with default Safari settings refuse to load webpages? I have repeatedly force quit Safari, cleared my history and cleared the cache through dev tools. I have also turned off Prevent cross-site tracking (which I would have preferred to keep active) and Allow privacy-preserving measurement of ad effectiveness is off. At this point major web pages are dragging with unacceptably long load times and frequently refusing to fully load the page at all. I am not sure what the thinking was to cripple web browsing in favor of attempting to protect privacy. At this point I am just going to install Firefox and be done with it. 228 2

Are you referring to: AdBlock Plus ?

If so, Attempt a New Install, in accordance with the developer.

Currently, no, I do not use it. Though, I have in the past. Many items would not load. With that being said, I did away with the installation.

The Five Best Ad Blockers You Can Install

B rowsing online can be an infuriating (and at times impossible) experience, thanks to ads. They're visually intrusive and slow websites down—and in some cases, "malvertising" inserts malicious code into legitimate sites and ads to spread malware and compromise the security of your data. Even the most careful internet user can be at risk, which is why a good ad blocker is an important tool to cut back on both the ads you're served and the data advertisers collect about you.

AdBlock Plus

AdBlock Plus is a highly rated free and open-source extension that lets you block ads and disable tracking on your browser and mobile devices. AdBlock Plus allows users to get more granular with what they block using filter lists, which can either block or whitelist certain elements on the page. The service does allow so-called Acceptable Ads through its filters by default, though you can disable the feature if you prefer.

AdBlock Plus is available on the following platforms:

• Android (browser)
• iOS (app integration with Safari)

uBlock Origin

uBlock Origin is another free and open-source browser-based ad blocker that is well-reviewed. It's easy to customize what you block and to disable specific features on a site-by-site basis. It also gets high marks from Wirecutter for its efficiency and limited resource use.

uBlock Origin is available on the following platforms:

Like uBlock Origin, Ghostery is also a highly customizable ad blocker that allows you to get granular with what's visible and what isn't, including hiding ads and preventing pop-ups. As a bonus, the extension can neutralize trackers and anonymize your data to protect your privacy.

Ghostery is available on the following platforms:

• Android (Ghostery for Firefox)
• iOS (Ghostery for Safari)

AdBlock is an entirely different product from AdBlock Plus, but they function in similar ways. Both are open-source and highly rated, both have default and user-customized filtering, and both allow Acceptable Ads unless actively disabled.

AdBlock is available on the following platforms:

Privacy Badger

Privacy Badger isn't an ad blocker, exactly—instead, it blocks the invisible trackers that collect information about your browsing behavior and help shape your experience across the web. It won't block ads unless the ads also happen to be tracking you, which the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) (the tool's creator) states is meant to incentivize better privacy practices among advertisers. You can use Privacy Badger on its own or alongside a more traditional ad blocker if you want to eliminate all ads.

Collector Francesco Pellizzi’s Rare Basquiats Head to Auction for the First Time

The trio of paintings will be sold by phillips in new york and hong kong next month..

A group of rare early paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat will make their auction debut this spring with Phillips , potentially bringing in more than $86.5 million total. All three come from the art collection of the late anthropologist Francesco Pellizzi , who purchased the paintings from Basquiat’s first dealer, Annina Nosei .

“An inspired collector, Francesco Pellizzi acquired timeless works that underscore Basquiat’s enduring significance and artistic vision, as they continue to inspire and provoke thought forty years later,” said Robert Manley , deputy chairman at Phillips, in a statement.

Phillips has been ramping up its Basquiat offerings in recent years. In addition to sponsoring the 2022 King Pleasure exhibition in New York, organized by Basquiat’s family, the auction house in 2018 sold his work Flexible for $45 million. And in 2022, it realized $85 million for Basquiat’s Untitled , sold by Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa .

The most valuable of the three paintings to be offered by Phillips in the coming months is Basquiat’s 1982 Untitled (ELMAR), which has an estimate of between $40 million and $60 million and will be sold on May 14 in New York. The painting, which measures nearly 8 feet wide, includes signature Basquiat motifs like scribbled text and a fallen angel. It was included in an exhibition of Pellizzi’s art collection at the Hofstra Museum in New York in 1989 and more recently in a 2018 retrospective at Fondation Louis Vuitton.

Phillips Basquiat auctions in New York and Hong Kong

Also included in the May 14 sale will be Basquiat’s Untitled (Portrait of a Famous Ballplayer) , a 1981 painting expected to fetch between $6.5 million and $8.5 million. Notably exhibited at a memorial show in 1988 shortly after the artist’s untimely death in August of that year, the work explores race and culture in the U.S. through the “all-American” sport of baseball, according to Phillips.

The auction house’s third offering, Native Carrying Some Guns, Bibles, Amorites on Safari , features a Black figure confronting a colonial poacher. The painting has an estimate of between $12 million and $18 million and will be included in a May 31 auction in Hong Kong. Phillips, which opened a Hong Kong headquarters last spring, noted that Asian collectors have shown a notable interest in Basquiat’s work.

Pellizzi, who died last year, was the co-founder and editor of Res, Anthropology and Aesthetics, a journal published by the Peabody at Harvard and Chicago University Press. The Italian academic studied under Claude Lévi-Strauss and authored numerous texts on Basquiat’s work. “Just when we think we have seized something essential about them, the essence evaporates,” wrote Pellizzi of Basquiat’s paintings in the essay Black and White All Over , which was included in a catalog for a 1989 retrospective of the artist at New York’s Vrej Baghoomian Gallery. “The paintings seem to slip away right and left, despite their remarkable compositional strength—a centripetal tension between all the elements.”

The anthropologist began collecting in the 1960s with pieces by artists like Donald Judd, Don Flavin and Carl Andre. But his tastes turned toward the contemporary in the 1980s and onwards. In addition to works by Basquiat, Pellizzi collected art from George Condo , Francesco Clemente , Vija Celmins and Daniel Lezama .
