What it is

CarterBlock blocks ads and trackers inside apps, games, and in-app browsers using hosts lists — with whitelist and live Blocked counters in Settings.

Main features

Hosts-based blocking in apps, games, and in-app browsers
Aggressive game ad patterns when you need them
Analytics / tracker blocking
Live Blocked counters + whitelist
Custom domains when a list isn’t enough

How to use

Open Settings → CarterBlock
Leave Enabled on
Force-quit the apps you care about
Relaunch — watch Blocked climb
Whitelist anything you break by accident

Tips

Kill the target app fully after list changes
Whitelist first; don’t disable everything for one site
Reset Stats for a clean “is it working?” check

Honest limits

Cert-pinned / raw-socket ads can slip. Not DNS-level and not Safari Content Blocker. Counters are a signal, not a guarantee.

FAQ

Is CarterBlock a Safari content blocker?

No. It targets in-app and in-game HTTP traffic via hosts-style blocking on Dopamine.
