Magic Lasso Adblock v5.0 now allows blocking ads and trackers across all apps on iOS devices and Mac, not limited to Safari, creating a cleaner and faster user experience.
The new version automatically blocks ads in various activities such as social media browsing, gaming, and reading news, enhancing privacy by preventing trackers from collecting and selling user data.
While there are concerns about potentially blocking non-ad content or breaking sites/apps, initial testing shows no issues occurring. Fine-grained control outside Safari is not as extensive, but users can easily toggle blocking on and off in the Magic Lasso Adblock app.
The update addresses issues with interstitial ads on news apps by preventing accidental taps on ads that redirect users to Safari, improving the overall news reading experience.
