Turn on bitClear on Mac
- Open bitClear and choose Turn On in Safari….
- In Safari, choose Safari → Settings → Extensions.
- Enable all three bitClear extensions. Return to bitClear to check its status.
Turn on bitClear on iPhone or iPad

Choose the languages you read
Regional filter lists start from your device’s languages. Open Filter lists → Languages to adjust them. English filtering is always included.
Keep filter lists current
bitClear checks for filter updates about once a day when the app opens. You can also choose Check for Updates. Keep an internet connection available for the check. On Mac, open the app periodically so it can check.
What you need
Safari with macOS 14 or later, or iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. bitClear works in Safari; it does not block ads inside other apps or every browser.
