How to remove ads in all iOS — applications
iOS is a closed source system that initially disables access to system files. But, as a rule, they need to be edited to block ads.
A prerequisite is the presence of a jailbreak, that is, full access rights. Please be aware that this operation may be a reason for refusing to warranty service, and a mistake can turn your iPhone or iPad into a useless brick of plastic and metal.
To navigate through system folders, you will need file manager, such as iFiles.
Changing folder permissions
In order for ads to appear in a particular application, first of all, it must be downloaded and saved to the device. In most cases, advertisement files are stored in the application's Caches folder. If you restrict writing to this directory, there will be no place for ads to get files for playback and you simply won’t see them.
- Go to the folder with the program: User → Application → "Program name".
- Locate the Caches folder.
- Set its permissions to "Read" and "Execute".
Removing images from a program folder
- Go to User → Containers → Bundle → Application → "Application Name".
- Delete from the folder all files that may be associated with advertising.
Uninstall iAd
iAd is the same service that delivers advertising to all Apple products. By deleting the folders that are related to it, we thereby get rid of unwanted content.
Navigate to the iOS system folders and delete the following:
- com.apple.iad.adlibd.
- iAdFramework.axbundle.
- iAd.framework.
- iAdCore.framework
Remember that all jailbreak methods are not guaranteed to be 100% successful, because they have nothing to do with Apple developers. And by deleting the excess from the system folders, you can permanently disable the phone. Therefore, when deciding to get rid of ads, be careful.

No matter how beautiful and mysterious the almost endless expanses of the Internet are, they pose no less dangers than interesting and useful materials. Therefore, many users, in order to surf the network quickly and safely, prefer to install specialized software on their PCs, which protects against many online problems. But what if such an ad blocker is installed for specific browsers and does not work for other software, is rarely updated...
In the case of Adguard things are really easier.

The same goes for search engines. Use the one that will be most convenient for you at the moment: Google, Rambler, Yandex, Yahoo and others.

- pre-blocked ads in the browser from numerous sites greatly facilitates the loading of Internet pages, releasing part of the saved traffic for other needs of the operating system;
- an additional level of protection - the program is not blocked at all by common antiviruses and firewalls, thereby increasing the OS Windows security system by several times.
- the database of unreliable Internet sites of the program is constantly expanding. For its qualitative formation, developers, in addition to their own efforts, collaborate with such well-known sources as: Malware Domains, Google Safe Browsing and useful lists from Web of Trust. So Adguard easily recognizes almost all fraudulent and outright malicious resources, which are best avoided;
- a significant increase in performance when working with sites (you will immediately notice that most Internet pages begin to load much faster. This is because Adguard blocks commercials, flickering banners, distracting pop-up notifications even before the page itself opens in front of you) .

Starting with version 14.2, Yandex.Browser received a catalog of recommended add-ons where you can find, download, and install useful improvements. In particular, there are various ad blockers that allow you to block banners, pop-ups and other annoying elements.
Where to download Adblock for Yandex.browser and how to install it?
In order to download and install an ad blocker in the Yandex browser, you must perform the following steps:
- Open the browser and click on the settings menu icon. Select "Add-ons".
- Select the Add-ons tab and scroll down. Here you need to click on the link "Catalog of add-ons for Yandex.Browser".
- In the search bar, enter "Adblock".
- IN pure form"Adblock" you may not find. However, there is "Adblock Cash" here. This is the same ad blocker whose developers promise rewards for using it. In fact, you will not receive anything, and the add-on will block ads.
- Installing "Adblock Cash" is quite simple. You need to click "Add to Yandex.Browser".
- Next, click "Install extension" again.
If you want to install an adblock close to the interface, then "Adblock Plus" is perfect for this purpose. To download and install it, follow these steps:
- Follow the link to the product page.
- Select your type of browser (under the button, small icons) and click "Install".
- Next, click "Install extension" again.
- Restart the browser for the changes to take effect. The extension icon will be located in the upper right corner.
How to set up Adblock Plus in Yandex Browser?
A new tab will open. There will be 4 sections of settings available here:
- List of filters;
- Personal filters;
- List of extended domains;
- General.
By default, the first section is marked "RuAdList+EasyList". However, there is a second note to be made. The more filters are included, the less likely it is that a banner will be able to crawl onto the page.
Also, if some unobtrusive advertising does not bother you, then you can leave it. To do this, you must put the appropriate mark.
In the "Personal filters" tab, you can add your own filter. How to do it? Consider a simple example. The banner address will be https://website/ads/banner124.gif, where 124 is the number of the banner. However, every time the page is loaded, the banner number will change and it is impossible to use this address as a filter..gif, where * is all banners. This filter will block ads. But you should not enter other characters, since in addition to advertising, you can block the site materials themselves. Insert this filter into the line and click "Add Filter".
In the "List of allowed domains" (not sites) tab, you can add a specific resource using a special button by selecting the address bar and clicking on the Adblock icon.
In the "General" tab, we leave everything unchanged, since all the marks are responsible for the statistics and display of tools.
Disabling an ad blocker using the example of Adblock Plus
To disable any extension in Yandex.Browser, just select "Add-ons" in the menu.
After that, in the list of add-ons, you need to find an ad blocker or another extension and check the "Disable" box.
The free program AdwCleaner is designed to remove adware and potentially unwanted software from your computer. After removing such software, the security of your computer will increase.
Many users often encountered the implicit installation of various unnecessary software on their computer. Toolbars and add-ons for browsers, advertising modules and banners, toolbars, and similar programs penetrate the computer during installation or after launching programs downloaded from the Internet.
The user proposes to install a specific program on his computer, but in the end he receives such an unexpected “gift” that he will not be happy about at all. In some cases, the user himself skips such programs to his computer without unchecking the boxes in the appropriate items, without paying attention to this when installing the program. In other cases, such unwanted software enters the computer secretly, without any notice to the user.
To prevent the installation of unnecessary programs, you can use the program, which will warn you if you try to install such unwanted software on your computer.
Often, such unwanted software, after being installed on a computer, behaves quite aggressively. Home pages in browsers change, new search engines appear, for example, such as the infamous Webalta, advertising banners, etc. Webalta secretly penetrates the computer, changes the start page in the browser, makes itself search engine by default, changes the properties of the shortcut to open its page in the browsers installed on the computer.
AdwCleaner can be used to combat such unwanted programs. AdwCleaner will scan your computer for adware and potentially dangerous software. You will then receive a report and will be prompted to remove the found adware, malware, and other potentially unwanted programs after you restart your computer.
AdwCleaner successfully removes toolbars, toolbars, ad blocks, hijacker programs that change home page browser, with other similar software. Once the cleaning is complete, your computer will be more secure.
