About AdGuard Mini
AdGuard Mini, formerly AdGuard for Safari, is a Mac app that installs Safari content-blocking extensions and manages them. It removes ads, trackers and annoyances such as cookie notices and social widgets, lets you choose filter lists or write your own rules, and adds a Safari toolbar control for pausing protection, allowlisting a site or picking an element to hide.
The source code is GPL-3.0-or-later. Some advanced features, including blocking outside Safari, are unlocked with a paid AdGuard license or in-app purchase. Download it from AdGuard's website or the Mac App Store; AdGuard's separate full AdGuard for Mac product is not covered by this listing.
