Description
Rawr! BlockBear is a really simple and ferocious adblocking app that allows you to browse the web ad-free and reclaim valuable screen space.
BlockBear:
• Blocks ads (popups, text ads, banners) and removes website clutter
• Loads many websites 3-5x faster saving time and bandwidth
• Protects your privacy from widespread online tracking (cookies, beacons, scripts, etc)
• Lets you choose to block any combination of ads, online tracking and social buttons with a simple switch
• Helps you to conveniently whitelist your favourite websites from within Safari using the BlockBear Safari extension
• Includes 100% more bears than competing ad blockers
Yeah, you could download another adblocker… but then you wouldn’t have a bear.
What’s New
Version 1.3.1
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
• Fixed an embearassing bug that caused BlockBear to ask you to download block list updates, even when none were available.
Ratings and Reviews
Simple and effective
I'm in an area where internet connection is slow and inclined to drop out. The last thing I need is aggressive ads slowing down my activity to the point where web pages just don't load at all
Block bear really helps thwart this menace.
Good, but needs the ability to add more filter lists
Seems to work well, blocking most ads, until it doesn’t recognise the ads and doesn’t block them. This is because it seems to be only using one filter list, which isn’t a fault of the app, just an oversight.
Need the ability to add custom filter lists, as then we could block much much more.
However, as a basicAdblock, this works great! Super quick, no data being sent back to devs, and very very easy set up.
BlockBear Review
Of course apps from TunnelBear are always secure and easy to handle. TunnelBear provides me with a great web experience without ads or trackers while of course adding their little entertaining twist on the app too. I look forward to more secure and amazing apps from TunnelBear LLC. such as this.
Thank you
