Questions
Does Clearfold block every ad?
No blocker does. Sites change all the time. Clearfold blocks most ads, and when something slips through we ship a fix, often within minutes.
Do you allow "acceptable ads"?
Never. No paid allowlisting, no exceptions, no affiliate injection.
Do you collect my browsing data?
No. Your history, URLs and page content never leave your device. If you send a problem report, we only get the page address after you confirm it.
Is it really free?
Core blocking, YouTube ads, custom rules and fast fixes are free. Pro adds extras like sync and Safari support.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome and Edge first, then Firefox. Safari on Mac and iPhone comes with Pro.
What happens when YouTube changes something?
We see it, fix it and ship the fix through signed rule updates. Check the status page to see anything in progress.
