Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries about the De-Ad blocker
Is De-Ad completely free?
Yes. The core ad-blocking functionality is 100% free and open source. We offer optional cosmetic 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 the Safari website on your iPhone, ads will be blocked. It cannot block ads inside the standalone YouTube app (iOS restrictions prevent this).
Why the name "De-Ad"?
It stands for "Dead Ad" or "De-Advertising." We wanted a minimal name that reflects exactly what the app does: kills ads.
