Ad Blocker
Ad Blocker is a system-wide advertisement blocking utility for macOS that works across all browsers and applications. It removes banner ads, pop-up windows, autoplaying videos, and tracking scripts at the network level, designed to speed up browsing, reduce bandwidth consumption, and improve privacy. The app is distributed by FipLab and sits in the menu bar, filtering incoming ad requests before they reach your browser or installed software without requiring per-browser extensions or configuration.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe bundle ID com.fiplab.adblocker does not match the major actively maintained ad blocker products we found with native Apple Silicon support (such as AdLock, 1Blocker, Magic Lasso, or Wipr), and we could not locate clear, recent information confirming whether FipLab's Ad Blocker has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon or remains Intel-only. If you are currently using this app, contact FipLab directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned, since an Intel-only build will stop launching on macOS 28 (September 2028). As a contingency, there are several well-maintained native ad blockers available: AdLock is a standalone system-wide blocker with native M-series support and works across all browsers and apps; 1Blocker and Magic Lasso are available on the Mac App Store with universal purchase and are confirmed native; and Wipr is a lightweight, inexpensive Safari-focused blocker that has been native since the early M1 days. All of these are actively developed and will continue to work beyond the Rosetta 2 deadline.
