Filtr is a new paid feature bundled into the Wipr Safari ad blocker that extends ad blocking beyond the browser to nearly all iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps. It leverages a new Apple URL filters API introduced in iOS 26 and macOS 26, which allows blocking ad domains at the network level system-wide. The tool uses a device-stored blocklist with automatic updates, routes confirmation requests through Apple's servers for privacy, and costs $5/year or $25 lifetime. Key limitation: it cannot block ads served from the same domain as the app itself, so Facebook, Google, and Reddit apps are unaffected.
