// FREQUENTLY_ASKED_QUESTIONS

>[Closed]How does it block ads without seeing my browsing?

De-Ad uses Safari's native Content Blocker API. This allows the app to provide a list of blocking rules to Safari itself. Safari applies these rules before pages even load, so the app never sees which websites you visit or what content is blocked. It's impossible by design.

>[Closed]Does it slow down Safari?

No. In fact, it often speeds up browsing. Since ads and trackers are blocked before they can be downloaded, pages use less data and load faster. The blocking is performed by Safari's highly-optimized native engine.

>[Closed]Where do the 40,000+ rules come from?

The rules are curated from trusted, community-driven open-source blocklists like EasyList and EasyPrivacy, which are the standard for web ad blocking. All rule lists are publicly auditable on GitHub.

>[Closed]Can I whitelist a specific website?

Yes. If a site isn't working correctly, you can easily disable De-Ad for that specific site. Simply tap the "aA" icon in Safari's address bar and select "Turn off Content Blockers."

>[Closed]How are the blocking rules updated?

Filter lists are updated regularly with new versions of the app distributed through the App Store. The app does not perform any background updates or network connections itself.
