After a lot of work significantly overhauling our web extension, I m excited to announce that we ve just released Magic Lasso Adblock v5.6, which makes it easier than ever to customize ad blocking directly in Safari.

The key feature of this release is a new Magic Lasso Adblock web extension.

There s a lot of ways to block ads on your iPhone.

However for effective ad blocking without creating more problems than it solves requires you to understand how each ad blocking method works, where it may block ads, and the trade-offs to consider.

What Makes a Great Safari Extension? To answer that question, I hand-picked seven of the very best Safari add-ons for:

• Privacy

• Shopping & Deals

• Reading & Social

• Productivity

• Customization

• Search

• Passwords

What I found is that not all extensions are created equal.
