If you're an iPhone or iPad owner (especially one whose children use your device), you might occasionally want to block access to a specific website. Whether that website is one of adult nature or just something, you don't want your children to be able to readily access, blocking specific websites on an iPhone or iPad takes just a few taps.

We're going to run through how you can make sure a specific website isn't accessible in Safari. This process recently changed with the release of iOS 12, so if you think you already know how to block websites, you might be surprised. Apple has rolled this particular functionality into its new Screen Time feature, and while it's now hidden below a couple of extra taps, it still works like a charm.

Head into the Settings app, scroll down a bit and tap the "Screen Time" option.

Next, tap "Content Privacy & Restrictions."

If it's not already activated, flick the "Content & Privacy Restrictions" toggle on and then tap "Content Restrictions" to proceed.

On the content restrictions page, tap the "Web Content" option. You might notice that it says "Unrestricted Access," but you will be changing that shortly.

Don't worry; you're almost done.

Next, enable the "Limit Adult Websites" option, which is required before you can block specific sites. From there, tap "Add Website" at the bottom of the screen. This is where you will enter the URL of the website you are going to block.

On the Add Website page, type the URL of the website you want to block and then tap "Done" on the keyboard.

At this point, you're all done, and the website is blocked. You can test this by heading over to Safari and trying to access the website in question. If all has gone according to plan, you will see an error similar to the one we have here.

If you need to add more websites, return to the same place and keep adding. If you decide to remove one at a later date, swipe on the URL and then tap "Delete."

If you prefer to use Chrome instead of Safari, there are some workarounds for blocking websites in Chrome even though there's no built-in feature for it.

How to block websites on iPhone and iPad — keep your kids safe on Safari in iOS 17

Here's how to block websites on iPhone.

• Limit adult content in Safari
• Block specific websites in Safari
• Block everything except specific sites in Safari

Whether you want to protect yourself from certain content or keep an eye on what your kids are up to, blocking websites in iOS 17 is an invaluable tool that can keep yourself and loved ones safe from scams, adult content, gambling, and more. 

Thankfully, iOS 17 includes multiple tools to help keep unwanted websites at bay, including a general adult content filter and tools to block targeted, specific URLs. 

If you want to go the whole hog there's even a tool that can be used to block all websites except ones that you deliberately whitelist, a handy way to manage a device given to a child or someone who's less tech savvy. 

Here are all three options and how to block websites in iOS 17. 

How to limit adult content in Safari for iPhone and iPad

The first and easiest way to block websites in Safari is simply to turn on the "limit adult content" setting in Apple's Screen Time settings. This will create a blanket ban on websites generally considered to be adult, including porn and gambling, and requires the least effort. Here's how to do it:

• Launch Settings from the home screen
• Choose Screen Time
• Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions

• Toggle Content and Privacy Restrictions
• Select Store, Web, Siri & Game Center Content
• Tap Web Content
• Choose Limit Adult Websites

How to block specific websites in Safari for iPhone and iPad

If limiting adult content isn't enough, or you happen to notice a URL that has slipped through the cracks, you can always block any URL you want with restrictions. The steps are very similar:

• Toggle Content & Privacy Restrictions
• Tap Add a Website under NEVER ALLOW
• Type the URL of the website you wish to block in the Website field
• Select Back at the top left

Repeat this process for each site you'd like to block. Keep in mind that if certain websites have mobile sites , you may need to block them separately. If you find a site that's still getting through after you attempt to block it, visit that site and look in the Address Bar of Safari to make sure you're blocking the correct URL. Copy it if you need to and paste it into the field.

How to block everything and whitelist only specific sites in Safari for iPhone and iPad

For very young children, or if you simply want to make sure nothing is accessible except what you specifically allow, you can disable everything and then only turn back on the sites you consider permissible, like Apple or Disney.

• Select Select Store, Web, Siri & Game Center Content
• Choose Allowed Websites . This setting means only the websites you add are allowed to come through, and everything else is blocked

• Tap Add Website
• Add Title and URL for a custom website that you wish to add to your allow list
• Choose Back

Keep unwanted content off your kids' devices

There you have three different ways to block websites on iPhone. Each one is progressively more comprehensive, and as such requires slightly more steps each time. As mentioned, we would generally recommend starting with the general "limit adult websites," before progressing to more specific URL blocking if you want stronger controls. The "allowed websites" setting we'd generally recommend the most for devices used by young children. Using these tools will take away any worries of your children using one of the best iPhones .

Effective Ways to Block Websites on Safari

Learn different ways you can effectively block websites on the Safari browser.

If you're trying to control what websites are accessed on your Apple devices, then you may have wondered how you can block specific websites on Safari. Fortunately, there are a few different ways that you can do this on both MacOS and iOS.

There are a few ways to block websites in Safari. Consider combining these methods together if you are trying to prevent websites from easily being unblocked.

• Point your Apple device to a DNS Content Policy, which will allow you to block websites comprehensively in Safari.
• On MacOS, the hosts file is a reliable way to block websites on Safari.
• Adding to these methods, Apple's Screen Time web content filter can be used to specify website blocklists, which will block websites in Safari on a Mac or iOS device.

Configure a DNS Content Policy to Block Websites on Safari

The best way to block websites on Safari or other browsers is to set a DNS Content Policy . A Content Policy allows you to control what kinds of content your Apple devices can access in Safari, who can access it, and when it can be accessed.

You can specify domains that you want to block with a DNS Content Policy.

Furthermore, you can specific apps to block . For example. instead of blocking the facebook.com domain to block Facebook in Safari, you would update your DNS Content Policy to block the facebook app.

An ideal approach to blocking websites in Safari with a content policy is to block entire categories, which saves you from having to manually add tons of websites to a blocklist.

Sometimes, you don't want to block a website all the time. You can instead, block the website according to a schedule that you've set.

You can also invite people to  share your Content Policy , then apply different schedules for each person separately.

Want to prevent changes to your Content Policy? Lock your profile to prevent easily changing your own settings.

You can still make your content policy more restrictive, but will have to unlock your profile if you want to make it less restrictive. 

Block Websites on Safari Using Apple's Web Content Filter

You can access a useful web content filter through Apple parental controls . Screen Time can do more than just keep track of how much you use apps on your iPhone or Mac. It includes some basic website blocking features, that while easy to reset, can be used in certain situations.

Screen Time External link icon can be used on both Mac and iPad/iPhone devices. The first step is to find these settings.

On Mac, you should be able to use Spotlight to search for and open "Screen Time". You should be able to access a Content & Privacy section like this:

Credit: Apple Support

On iPhones, you need to open your device's Settings, then scroll down to Screen Time. The menu should look like this:

The instructions between iPhone and Mac are going to be slightly different.

Configuring the Web Content Filter to Block Websites in Safari on MacOS

First, open the Screen Time menu. You can do this by using Spotlight to search for and open "Screen Time".

From the main overview screen, click on the Content & Privacy Restrictions option from the side menu.

From here, you want to find Web Content entry (this should be under the Content tab). You can choose to set this to Limit Adult Websites .

To block specific websites that you manually specify, you'll need to click the Customize button at the bottom of the Web Content entry.

From here, you should see two options:

• Always Allow : Allow a website always.
• Never Allow : Blocks a website you choose.

Any websites that you want to block should be added to the Never Allow list.

Configuring the Web Content Filter to Block Websites in Safari on iPhone/iPad

If your main goal is to block websites on iPhone , using Screen Time is going to be one of your best friends. 

On iOS, scroll down from Screen Time's main menu. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions :

Make sure that you enable the checkbox near the top of the screen first.

From the Content & Privacy Restrictions menu, tap Content Restrictions .

From this new menu, you will see several options. The one we're interested in is Web Content :

From here, you will three options:

• Unrestricted Access : The default option. This doesn't impose any kind of restrictions.
• Limit Adult Websites : Limits most adult websites. With this option enabled, you gain the ability to enforce a simple whitelist and blacklist.
• Allowed Websites Only : A severely restrictive option that blocks all website but the ones you've specifically allowed. This can cause issues on some websites, so we don't recommend this unless you know what you're doing.

If you want to block a specific website, you will need to choose either Limit Adult Websites or Allowed Websites Only . We strongly recommend choosing Limit Adult Websites , since Allowed Websites Only  requires a much more advanced setup.

You may have noticed that the screenshot above has Limit Adult Websites already selected. This won't be the default option, but once you've selected it, you will see two other options appear near the bottom of the menu:

• Always Allow : This allows a website to be visited, regardless of other restrictions you've set up.
• Never Allow : This lets you block websites you choose. 

If you want to block a website, add it to the Never Allow list . 

How do I delete entries I've added?

Screen Time is a good place to start, however, if you're interested in creating the simplest setup possible, we have a guide that explains all of the different ways to create your own dumb iPhone .

Block Websites in Safari Using the Hosts File

An even better option to block website than Screen Time is by editing the Hosts file . Unfortunately, this option is only available on MacOS and can't be used on iOS.

The Hosts File is a special file on your computer that blocks websites at the network level. You will have to find its location on your system, then add entries to it manually. However, the added benefit over Screen Time is two-fold:

• The Hosts file is harder to find and edit than Screen Time. This means that it's less likely (and more difficult) for websites to be unblocked later on. You might consider this approach if bypass prevention is your focus.
• The Hosts file blocking technique works will block websites in other browsers as well, not just Safari.

However, before you begin changing your Hosts file, it's important to keep in mind a few limitations:

• The Hosts file can be modified by any account with admin access. Determined users can still re-enable websites you've blocked .
• Unless you know what you're doing, modifying the Hosts file can cause issues that are difficult to troubleshoot. You should carefully follow our instructions.
• Adding to many entries to your Hosts file can slow down your Mac computer , so limit the number of websites block to less than 1000.

Adding entries to your Hosts file is a bit more complicated than we can get into with this article, so check out our free guide on how to block websites with the Hosts file  to learn more!

Limit the Safari Browser on Mac

If you configure a managed MacOS device, you can significantly limit the functionality of the Safari browser - turning it into a "dumb browser."

Using managed mode on MacOS, you have a large list of configuration options available to you. In Safari, you can choose to:

• Disable Private Browsing.
• Hide images on webpages.
• Disable JavaScript.
• Block cookies

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to block websites in safari.

You might try using Screen Time to block websites. You can go a step further and block the website on your Hosts file. However, there are a few problems with relying on these methods alone:

• Screen Time can be powerful, but it's also too easy to disable.
• The Hosts file can be tricky to navigate and make changes to in the future.
• In either case, if you want to block thousands of websites (or entire categories of websites), it's not feasible with either method.

Using a DNS Content Policy to block websites solves for these issues since you can block entire categories or specific apps in addition to specifying website domains. A DNS Content Policy lets you block in a more comprehensive way and is harder to bypass compared to the other methods.

How do I block entire website categories?

If you want to block entire categories of websites instead of managing your own lists, Apple Screen Time allows you to limit Adult Websites, which automatically selects a large list of websites to block.

Additionally, a DNS Content Policy allows you to choose from hundreds of different website categories so you can pick almost any category or app that you can think of.

How do I Disable Safari Entirely?

Some people opt to get rid of the Safari browser entirely since it has limited options for enforcing settings or using browser extensions that work on Chrome.

Another option you can consider is to hide or disable the safari browser  on your device. You can then use another browser to enforce other restrictions, or just not use Safari on that device.

Looking for the best way to block websites on your iPhone or Mac? Whether you want to protect your child from visiting an inappropriate site or prevent yourself from getting distracted when working, you can quickly and effortlessly block certain sites on Safari.

Below, we look at the methods you can use to block and restrict websites on your iPhone and Mac. We'll show you how to use Screen Time and third-party apps to do so.

How to Block Websites on Your iPhone Using Screen Time

Let's first look at how to block a website on your iPhone indefinitely. For example, if your child uses your device, it's important to put parental controls on an iPhone , which includes blocking adult websites and other age-restricted sites on your device.

Follow these steps to block a website in Safari on your iPhone:

• Go to Settings > Screen Time . If you haven't enabled Screen Time before, tap Turn On Screen Time and follow the on-screen instructions.
• Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions .
• Toggle on Content & Privacy Restrictions . Tap Content Restrictions > Web Content > Limit Adult Websites . This setting doesn't guarantee that all pornographic sites will get blocked on your iPhone, though. So, if there's a specific website you want to block, carry out the next two steps.
• Tap Add Website under Never Allow .
• Type the URL of the website and tap Done to save.

How to Restrict Website Access on Your iPhone Using Screen Time

In some cases, you might not want to block a website on your iPhone's Safari app permanently. Therefore, you can opt to just restrict the amount of time a website can be accessed on your iPhone.

This method is mostly handy for parents who want to restrict the time their children spend on a particular site, like a social media platform. You can use it to control your own usage, too. Here's how to restrict access to a website on your iPhone:

• In your iPhone's Screen Time settings, go to App Limits > Add Limit > Websites .
• Select a site from the dropdown, or tap Add Website to type the URL. Then, tap Done > Next .
• Scroll to set the length of time allowed to access the site. Tap Add .
• Toggle on Use Screen Time Passcode . Enter your preferred passcode.

Now, if you set a limit of one hour, Safari will block the site once it has been accessed for an hour for the day. To access the restricted site, the user will need to enter the Screen Time passcode.

How to Use BlockSite to Block Websites on Your iPhone

If you feel that using Screen Time to block websites on your iPhone is a little cumbersome, an alternative is to use a third-party app like BlockSite. Follow these steps to block websites on your iPhone's Safari app without Screen Time:

• Launch BlockSite . Tap Block Something .
• Type a URL in the search field. Select the site listed in the search results and tap Next .
• Set how many days and for how long you want the site to be blocked on your iPhone. Tap Next .
• Tap Done to save.

Once the app has blocked the website on your iPhone, it will not load in Safari when you try to access it. You'll only see a Safari cannot open the page message.

How to Block Websites on Your Mac Using Screen Time

Although you can also use the Terminal app to block any website on your Mac , that's a lot more intimidating. It also leaves the chance that something could go wrong.

Therefore, let's use easier methods. They're similar to how you would block websites on your iPhone. Here's what you need to do to block a website on your Mac using Screen Time:

• Click the Apple menu , then click System Settings > Screen Time .
• Toggle on Screen Time if you haven't used it before.
• Go to Content & Privacy . Toggle on Content & Privacy . Click Content Restrictions .
• For Access to Web Content , change to Limit Adult Sites . Click Customize , then the Add (+) icon under Restricted . Type the web address in the URL field and click Done .
• Click Done again to save.

When you try to access the blocked website, Safari will inform you that you can't do so because it's not on the approved list in Screen Time.

How to Restrict Website Access on Your Mac Using Screen Time

To block access to a website in Safari once it has been used for a period of time, follow these steps in macOS:

• Click the Apple Menu , then go to System Settings > Screen Time .
• Next, click App Limits and toggle on App Limits .
• Click Add Limit . Scroll down to find Websites . Click the dropdown arrow and type in the website URL in the empty field.
• In the Time field, you can choose the exact amount of time that you want to be able to spend on the chosen website.
• To set a different limit for a site depending on the day, click Custom > Edit and type in the amount of time you wish to spend scrolling through that website for any specific day.
• When you're ready, click Done .

If you're restricting a website on Safari, not for yourself, but to prevent your child from visiting it, remember to set a Screen Time passcode. That way, only the people who know that passcode would have the ability to change the settings.

In your Screen Time settings, toggle on Use Screen Time Passcode . Then, enter a memorable passcode to use.

Knowing how to turn off Screen Time on your Mac is also a handy skill to have since you might want to disable this feature after some time. You'll need your Screen Time passcode to do this.

How to Block Websites on Your Mac Using Safari Site Blockers

Many Mac users find it a bit complicated to use Screen Time to block a Safari website. It actually may take a while to get everything just right. The easier way around this problem is to install a dedicated Safari site blocker app instead. Below are two such apps you can use.

It's free to download and use but has a monthly and yearly pro subscription available. Among the features of the free version is the ability to block websites, so if that's what you're aiming for, you won't need to get a paid subscription.

To block websites on Safari using the 1Focus app, all you need to do is launch it, click the plus (+) icon, and type in the website URL in the field that appears. Then, hit Return on your keyboard. It's that easy.

Download: 1Focus (Free, subscription available)

If you're looking for a fancier option, take a look at the Focus City app. People who like to use a Pomodoro timer to increase their productivity levels will enjoy this application even more. It is also free to install and use. However, to get all of the features that come with this app, you'll need to get the Pro version.

Here's how to use Focus City to block certain websites on Safari on your Mac:

• Launch Focus City or click the app icon in the menu bar.
• Now, click Blocked to add a website that you want to block on Safari.
• Double-click the example field to edit it. Type in the full URL of the site and hit Enter on your keyboard.
• To add another website, click on the plus (+) icon.
• Click Build to start your first Pomodoro session and block the added websites.

Quickly Block a Website on Safari Using Any Method

At the moment, you can't block a website directly from the Safari browser on your iPhone and Mac. In many cases, this is what stops people from doing it since they think this process may get highly complicated, but the steps are actually quite easy.

Depending on your preferences, you can choose either the Screen Time feature to block a site on Safari or get a suitable third-party app. Both of the methods are straightforward, and you shouldn't have any issues when blocking a website on your iPhone or Mac.

By Ruslana Lishchuk

While browsing the internet on your iPhone or iPad, how often do you inadvertently end up on a webpage full of inappropriate content?  

It happens more often than you’d like it to. But what if it wasn’t you browsing but your kid?

In a recent survey of US parents, 75% of respondents said they check the websites or apps their child visits. In this digital age, the prevalence of inappropriate or suspicious content means we need to take care to monitor their behaviour. The good news is that protecting your kids from this kind of content gets easier when you know how to block websites in Safari on iPhone and iPad.  

Pro tip: Protection apps like Clario add an extra layer of security to keep you safe online. Clario’s all-in-one solution offers features like an unlimited and secure VPN, data breach monitoring, and instant ad blocking.     Here’s how to add Clario’s protection to your online activity: Download Clario to your device. Create an account. Only switch on the features you want or activate them all to enjoy complete protection.

In this article, we’ll cover the different ways you can protect your kids from seeing inappropriate or specific content on an iPhone or iPad.

• How to block inappropriate websites on an iPhone or iPad

An iPhone is a great way to keep in touch with your kids and let them explore the internet. However, with this freedom comes great responsibility for us as parents.  

Luckily, Apple offers built-in parental control features that let you protect kids from seeing any inappropriate content. 

Restrict adult content

• Open Settings on your iPhone.
• Tap Screen Time and then Turn on Screen Time .
• If this is your phone but your child uses it from time to time, choose This is My iPhone . If this is your child’s phone, tap This is My Child’s iPhone .
• Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions .
• Tap the toggle bar next to Content & Privacy Restrictions . You’ll see it turn from gray to green. Green shows that this feature is active.
• Tap Content Restrictions , then Web Content .
• Tap Limit Adult Websites to activate adult content blocking.

That’s it! Apple’s operating system will now automatically scan websites and prevent access to sites with adult content.

Restrict explicit content

You can also block music, movies, and TV shows with explicit content or special ratings on an iPhone.  

• Go to Screen Time .
• Tap on Content Privacy & Restrictions and Content Restrictions . This screen shows you multiple options for restricting content.
• Tap Music, Podcasts, News & Workouts and choose Clean . This means you exclude explicit content.
• Tap Movies to choose the ratings you want to allow for movies. When you’re done, go back to Content Restrictions and do the same for TV Shows .
• Tap Books and then Clean to exclude books with explicit language.
• Tap Apps and choose the age category for the apps you want to allow. You can also choose Don’t Allow Apps . This will stop the downloading of any apps.

There may be internet resources that aren’t considered inappropriate but are unsuitable for you and your family.  

Block a specific website

If you want to block a particular website, navigate to your Content Restrictions settings by following the first three steps above, then do this:

• Tap Web Content .
• Tap Limit Adult Websites . When this option is checked, below you’ll see the NEVER ALLOW section.
• Tap Add Website under NEVER ALLOW .
• Type in the website address and tap Done when you’re finished.

This will prevent your child from accessing both adult content and the website you added.

Restrict browsing to a list of websites

Instead of specifying websites, you want to block, sometimes it’s easier to create a list of those you want to be available. Navigate to your Content Restrictions settings, then do this:

• Tap Allowed Websites Only . When this option is checked, you’ll see the ONLY ALLOW THESE WEBSITES section. It will show some default websites added by the system. You can remove any website by swiping left and tapping Delete .
• Tap Add Website to add the address of a website you want to allow, then tap Done when you’re finished.

Now your child will only be able to access the websites in this list.  

Apple’s parental control features let you restrict inappropriate content, games, and apps, and even prevent unsuitable App Store purchases.  

Before you begin with configurations, you’ll need to set up a Screen Time Passcode to prevent your kids from changing your restriction settings. Here’s how:

• Go to Settings .
• Tap Screen Time .
• Tap your child’s name.
• Tap Change Screen Time Passcode . You’ll be prompted to authenticate the change with your Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode. Make sure your Screen Time Passcode is different from your device passcode!

Now your kids won’t be able to change your website access restrictions without entering the passcode.  

Let's see how you can use parental control tools to prevent your kids from using social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.  

How to block Facebook on iPhone or iPad

Blocking Facebook on iOS is done by preventing Facebook app download and browser access. If you already have the Facebook app on your device, you’ll need to delete it first.  

After you’ve deleted the Facebook app, follow these steps:  

• Go to Content Restrictions .
• Tap on the Apps section.
• Choose Don’t Allow Apps . This will prevent your child from downloading any new apps, including Facebook.
• Return to Content Restrictions and tap Web Content .
• Choose Limit Adult Websites . Now you can add www.facebook.com to NEVER ALLOW. This will prevent your kid from using Facebook from a Safari browser.

How to block Instagram on iPhone or iPad

To begin, delete the Instagram app if you already have it.  

• Restrict downloading Apps on iPhone first. So go to the Apps section in Content Restrictions and choose Don’t Allow Apps .
• Go back to Content Restrictions and tap Web Content .
• Tap Limit Adult Websites .
• Add www.instagram.com to the NEVER ALLOW section and tap Done . This will prevent your kid from accessing Instagram through a web browser.

How to block YouTube on iPhone

Your kid can use YouTube from two places: an app and a browser. Here’s how to prevent your child from watching inappropriate YouTube content:

• Delete the YouTube app if you already have it.
• Tap on Content Restrictions .
• Tap on the Apps section
• Choose Don’t Allow Apps to prevent your child from downloading apps including YouTube.
• To prevent access to the YouTube website, go to Content Restrictions and proceed to Web Content .
• Add www.youtube.com to the NEVER ALLOW section and tap Done .

Unfortunately, inappropriate content isn’t the only threat to your kids’ online safety . Recurrent pop-up ads that your kids can easily tap on by mistake can also be malicious.  

This means that clicking on the ad could potentially lead you to download a virus to your device or put yourself at risk of a phishing attack. What’s more, the ad itself can contain explicit content, and none of Apple’s parental control features can block this. That’s why you need a tool to block ads.  

Clario’s mobile security solution includes instant ad blocking for your iPhone . Here’s how to use it:

• Download Clario to your device.
• Create an account and log into the app.
• Tap the Browsing icon.
• Tap the slider in the Ad Blocker section and follow the instructions to enable ad blocking for Safari on your device.

That’s it! The ad blocker is up and running.

If you no longer need the restrictions you’ve previously set up on your mobile device, you can switch them off all at once. See how to disable website restrictions on iOS:  

• Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap on Screen Time .
• Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions . If you’ve set up a Screen Time Passcode, you’ll need to enter it here.
• Tap the slider next to Content & Privacy Restrictions at the top. It will turn gray to show that you’ve turned off restrictions on your device.

And you’re done! Now you can access all websites and apps on your device.  

The internet can be fun and educational, but it can also be dangerous and a source of inappropriate content. That doesn’t mean you should stop your kids going online altogether. With the right settings and an ad blocker from a tool like Clario , everyone can stay safe and still enjoy browsing.

Guide to Block Sites on Safari on iPhone, MacBook and iPad

Safari is a great web browser when it comes to browsing. But when you’ve to block certain websites for your employees or kids, it could be a little difficult for new Apple device owners.

However, Apple provides a system-wide solution to block websites on your device entirely whether it is Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

The method involves using the Screen Time feature on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS to block multiple websites. You can either choose to block only adult websites or choose custom sites to block.

So here’s how to block websites in Safari or any other browser on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

When blocking websites with Screen Time, it works system wide and your machine can’t access the blocked URL anywhere. Be it in web browser or any installed apps. It acts like a system-wide parental control.

Steps to Block Websites on Safari in macOS

The easiest way to block websites on Mac is by using the new Screen Time feature. The Screen Time feature on macOS was introduced with the launch of macOS Catalina.

For this method to work, you need to be running macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or above. If you haven’t updated your Mac yet, then you should update it to the latest version for it to work. Once you update your macOS to the latest version, then follow these steps to block sites in Safari on Mac.

Furthermore, if any user knows how to unblock the blocked websites in Safari, then it’s best to use a passcode for Screen Time as well.

Also, the restriction popup contains an “Add Website” button which adds the website to whitelist but it requires the administrator password. Make sure the password is strong enough to guess.

Steps to Block Sites on iPhone and iPad

Blocking websites on iPhone and iPad are pretty similar to that of a Mac. However, you should be running iOS 13/iPadOS 13 or above to block websites on iPhone and iPad respectively.

If you aren’t running on iOS/iPadOS 13 or above, then you should update to the latest version. Once updated to the latest version of iOS and iPadOS, follow these steps to block websites in Safari on an iPhone and iPad.

• Now select Content Restriction .

• Under choose Never Allow , tap on Add Website to add custom sites.

After adding the websites list, they will be blocked and you can’t open them on the iPhone or iPad anywhere including Safari browser.

You can swipe left on the website URL, and tap on Delete to unblock the website whenever you want.

Block Websites System-wise on macOS, iOS and iPadOS

Whatever the reason may be for your blocking, you’ll be able to block any site on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. However, make sure that you don’t let anyone access the Screen Time feature without any passcode. If they know how to get past the blocking, the blocking will be of no use.

In addition to blocking websites on Safari whether it’s Mac, iPhone, or iPad, it also blocks them at system-level blocking. Hence you can’t access those sites anywhere inside your device with any tool. I guess blocking sites on Safari isn’t hard as you think.

Hope this guide helped you in blocking websites in Safari without any parental control apps and modifying your router setting. If you have any queries or suggestions related to this topic, make sure to leave them in the comments.

• iOS 8 to 11: Go to Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > Websites > Limit Adult Content .

This article explains how to block websites on iPhones, and how to add and remove sites on an approved list.

How to Block Websites in iOS 12 and Up

The iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch include built-in tools that control which websites kids can visit. The feature allows adults to block access to websites, and the settings are protected by a passcode, so a child can't change them.

On the iPhone Home screen, tap Settings .

Tap Screen Time .

Select Content & Privacy Restrictions .

Enter a passcode when instructed to do so. It can be any four-digit combination.

This passcode prevents your children from changing the restrictions you set in place.

Turn on the Content & Privacy Restrictions toggle switch. You may be prompted to enter your system passcode to continue.

Tap Content Restrictions .

Select Web Content .

Tap Limit Adult Websites .

Exit the Settings app to save the Screen Time settings.

How to Block Websites in iOS 8 Through iOS 11

In iOS 8 through iOS 11 , the feature is located in the Restrictions settings.

On your iOS device, open the Settings app.

Tap General .

Tap Restrictions .

Enter a four-digit passcode to protect the settings. Use something your kids won't be able to guess.

Tap Enable Restrictions . Enter the passcode again to confirm it.

On the Restrictions screen, go to the Allowed Content section and tap Websites .

Tap Limit Adult Content .

Leave the Settings app. Your choice to block adult sites is automatically saved, and the passcode protects it.

While blocking adult content this way is helpful, it's broad. You may find that it blocks sites that aren't adult and lets other sites slip through. Apple can't rate every website on the internet, so it relies on third-party ratings, which aren't perfect. If you're unsatisfied, set up a list containing only the websites they are approved to visit.

Restrict Web Browsing to Approved Sites Only 

Instead of relying on Screen Time (or Restrictions) to filter the entire internet, use the feature to create a set of websites that are the only ones your kids can visit. It gives you more control and is suitable for young children.

This feature is located on the same screen as Limit Adult Content, reachable by following the instructions in either section above.

To add new sites to this list, follow these steps:

Scroll to the bottom of the approved websites list and tap Add Website.

In the Title text box, enter the name of the website.

In the URL text box, enter the website address .

Tap Web Content (or Websites ) to go back to the previous screen. Repeat for as many sites as you want.

Exit the settings. The sites you added are automatically saved. 

Remove Websites From the Approved List

The iPhone is preconfigured with a set of websites that are suitable for children, including Apple, Disney, PBS Kids, National Geographic - Kids, and others.

To remove sites on this list:

In the restricted websites screen, tap Allowed Websites Only in iOS 12 (or Specific Websites Only in iOS 8 through iOS 11).

Swipe left on any website you want to remove from the approved list, then tap Delete .

Repeat for every site you want to delete.

If your kids go to a website not on the approved list, they see a message saying the site is blocked. It contains an Allow Website link so you can add it to the approved list if they ask and you agree, but they can't add it themselves without the passcode.

Blocking adult websites isn't the only control you can use on your kids' iPhone or iPad. In these same settings, you can block music with explicit lyrics, prevent in-app purchases, and more using the built-in features available in the Screen Time and Restrictions settings.

To block ads in Safari for iPhone , you must set up an ad blocker app. Then, go to Settings > Safari > Content Blockers . To block pop-ups in Safari, go to Settings > Safari > Block Pop-ups .

To set up Safari parental controls on your iPhone, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps > Content Restrictions > Web Content . To disable Safari completely, look under Allowed Apps and turn off Safari .

To lock iPhone apps , go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps . Turn off an app's switch to hide it.

How to block websites in Safari on an iPhone, iPad and Mac

Updated on:

The internet can be a tricky place with a lot of content that might not be suitable for everyone. Whether you’re looking to protect yourself from the dark side of the internet or don’t want your kids to end up scrolling through websites unsuitable for their age, you can protect yourself and your kids by simply blocking such websites on Safari.

Keep reading, and we’ll show you how to block websites in Safari on an iPhone, iPad, and Mac in different ways. Without much ado, let’s jump into it.

Why block websites on Safari?

How to block websites in safari on a mac using screen time, how to block websites in safari on a mac using terminal, how to block access to select websites on an iphone or ipad, how to restrict explicit language content on an iphone or ipad, using third-party apps to block websites on safari.

There are various reasons why blocking certain websites could be actually good for you. Here are a few common ones.

1. Parental control

• Protecting your kids: You can block certain websites to keep your children away from inappropriate and sensitive content on the internet.
• Managing your time more efficiently: By blocking distracting websites, you can help your kids focus better on studying, their hobbies, or other important activities.

2. Personal productivity

• Bid goodbye to distractions: You can block social media or gaming sites to stay focused on work or study , as these sites can end up consuming a significant portion of your time.
• Unfriend procrastination: It can be challenging to stay focused, but blocking distracting websites can really help. By doing so, you spend less time browsing aimlessly and more time on what you need to do.

3. Security and privacy

• Protect your devices from malware: People with access to your device might try to download harmful software like viruses or spyware. To protect yourself, block websites that offer pirated content, as these often distribute malware.
• Avoiding phishing: Fake websites that mimic real ones can steal your personal information. If a site seems suspicious, block it to keep your information safe.

4. Network restrictions

• Company rules: In your workplace, you might need to block certain websites to comply with company policies or security rules. This helps you focus better on work.
• School rules: Schools often block websites that are inappropriate or distracting for students. If you run a school or have a student at home, consider blocking some websites to avoid exposure to harmful content.

How to block websites in Safari on a Mac

If your child loves using a Mac, and you can’t find a better way to protect them from accessing select websites, you can use any of the following two ways to block websites in Safari on your Mac.

Screen Time is one of the easiest ways to block certain websites on a Mac. Just so you know, you can also whitelist select websites on Mac.

• Turn on the Content & Privacy toggle.

Although blocking websites using Screen Time on a Mac is effective, if you’re seeking a more permanent solution that’s harder to bypass, Terminal might be your answer. It works by making changes directly to your Mac’s hosts file, which is more robust than the Screen Time approach.

• Press Command + Space to bring up Spotlight Search, type Terminal and hit Return .

• If asked, type your Mac’s user password and hit Return .

• Once you’re done adding the website, press Command + O , then hit Return .
• Now press Control + X to save the changes and exit the file
• Next, you’ll need to clear the DNS cache to ensure our changes take effect. For that, type sudo dscacheutil -flushcache in the Terminal and hit Return .

Finally, you can check whether or not the website is blocked. Simply open your web browser and try visiting the blocked website. You should see a message like “Safari Can’t Connect to the Server,” confirming that the block is in place.

• Scroll down and tap Content & Privacy Restrictions .

• Tap Web Content , and select Limit Adult Websites .

Blocking websites is a good start, but kids might still find other sites with similar content. To handle this, you need to filter out explicit searches and language. This is easy to set up in the Settings.

• Go to Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions . Toggle on Content & Privacy Restrictions toggle if it isn’t already.
• Choose Intelligence & Siri .

While your iPhone, iPad, and Mac can block websites using Screen Time or Terminal (on Mac), several third-party apps do the job with some additional perks, such as parent control and monitoring. If you’re interested in that, here are some popular options.

How to Block Websites in Safari Browser (iPhone, iPad, Mac)?

Do you want to block websites in Safari browser on iPhone, iPad, and Mac? If so, then this article will explain how to do so effectively. 

When it comes to web browsing, Safari is an excellent choice. Blocking websites can be a great way to prevent yourself from visiting distracting or time-wasting sites. 

For example, if you are trying to get work done blocking certain sites could help improve productivity by preventing you from being tempted. 

However, new Apple device owners can find it difficult to block certain websites for employees or kids. Although Apple provides a system-wide solution for blocking websites on any Apple device. 

In this method, multiple websites are blocked using the Screen Time feature on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. You can either block only adult websites or any websites you choose.

How to Disable Content Blockers for a Specific Website in Safari for iOS

Content blockers prevent ads like popups and banners from loading on websites you visit, and may also disable cookies, beacons, and the like to prevent online tracking and protect your privacy. Occasionally, however, they may insistently block a legitimate page element that you need access to on a particular webpage you regularly visit.

If you suspect that a content blocker you installed is disabling a useful webpage element, or you just want to disable all blocking for that specific website, here's how to turn it off.

• Launch Safari on your iOS device and navigate to the site in question.

• Tap Website Settings .

Alternatively, if you want to temporarily disable content blockers for all websites, simply tap Turn Off Content Blockers in the Website View menu.

How to Block Websites on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Android, and iOS

There may be times when you want to block websites in order to prevent your children from accessing them, to control your addiction to social media websites, or to eliminate other types of distractions. Most browsers do not have a built-in way to block websites. Let’s look at some other methods for blocking websites on your favorite browser.

How to Block Websites in Chrome on Desktop

How to block websites in firefox on desktop, how to block websites in edge on desktop, how to block websites in safari on desktop, how to block websites on all browsers, how to block websites on android, how to block websites on ios, how to block websites network-wide on your home wi-fi, how to block websites using the hosts file, block explicit content from google.

The best way to block websites is to use a Chrome extension. One of the popular extensions is Block Site.

• Install the BlockSite extension by clicking on “Add to Chrome” on the download page followed by “Add extension.” Wait for the extension to install.

• Once installed, open the site and click on the BlockSite icon in the extensions bar. Click on the “Block this Site” button or click the Settings icon.

• Type the URL into the “Enter a web address box” and click on “Add item.” Add other addresses following the same method.

Some cool features of the extension include password protection, a built-in adult site blocker, and scheduling. The free version lets you block six websites. To block unlimited websites, you must upgrade to the premium version.

Other website blocker extensions you may like:

You can also block websites in Mozilla Firefox by installing the Block Site add-on, a Firefox-recommended extension. This extension allows you to set a password and schedule blocking. Follow these steps to set it up:

• Install the Block Site extension . Click on “Add to Firefox” followed by “Add” in the pop-up window.

• After the extension is installed, open the website you want to block and click the extension’s icon.

• A confirmation pop-up window will open. Click on “Ok.”

This is how the webpage will look after it’s blocked.

To add or remove websites or set a password:

• Right-click on the extension icon and select “Manage extension” to open the Block Site extension page.
• Click on the three-dot icon next to the extension name and select “Options.”

If you’re interested in protecting your privacy online, check out the best Firefox add-ons .

Just like Chrome and Firefox, you can use an add-on like Block Site to block websites in Microsoft Edge.

• Open the Block Site extension page and click “Get.”

• Once installed, its icon will appear in the Extensions bar. Open the website you want to block and click on the Block Site icon.

• The Prompt window will appear asking you to confirm you want to block the website. Click “Ok.”

Tip : The Simple website blocker is another Edge add-on that can help in blocking websites, and Microsoft Family services can be used to block sites for child accounts.

Mac offers a native feature to block websites using Screen Time functionality . Keep in mind that it will also block websites in third-party browsers installed on your Mac, such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Follow these steps to set it up:

• Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen and select “System preferences” from the menu.

• Click on “Screen Time” in the System Preferences window that opens.

• Click on “Content & privacy” from the left sidebar of the Screen Time window. If the screen shows that Content & Privacy Restrictions are off, click on “Turn on.”

• Choose “Limit Adult websites” next to Web content. If you want to restrict adult content only, this setting is enough. But since we are interested in blocking websites, click on the “Customize” button.

• Click on the “+” icon under the Restricted section and type the website URL to block it.

Use Screen Time Passcode for added security to ensure that no one can remove the blocked websites from the restricted list. If you want to block websites on the Safari browser alone, use the WasteNoTime extension Safari extension.

The methods described above are browser-specific and only work on a single browser. If you’re looking for a cross-browser blocking solution, Cold Turkey is an awesome tool for Windows and Mac. Other tools include FocalFilter and Freedom .

• Install the Cold Turkey tool on your Mac or Windows device.
• Once installed, the tool will ask you to install the Cold Turkey extension on the browsers installed on your computer. Click on “Install” next to the supported browsers.

• Open the Cold Turkey tool again on your computer and click on “Blocks” in the left sidebar. Click on “Add a new block” and add the websites you wish to block.

• After you create a block, make sure to enable it using the toggle next to it.

The free version lets you block an unlimited number of websites. You can even specify how long you want to block websites.

Third-party apps such as BlockSite and StayFree Web can help you block websites on your Android phone. The apps will work in all browsers installed on your phone.

Follow the steps below to blow websites with the StayFree web app:

• Install the app on your Android phone.
• Grant the necessary permissions like Accessibility and Screen Overlay for the proper functioning of the app.
• On the app’s home screen, tap on the floating add (+) icon and enter the website URL. You can keep the “Block after” time as 0 or set it according to your preferences and tap on “Block website.”

Tip : If you use Google Families , you can use it to block websites for your child’s account.

Similar to Mac, Screen Time on iOS will help block websites. Follow the instructions below:

• Open iPhone Settings and go to “Screen Time.”

• Tap on “Content & Privacy Restrictions” and enable it on the next screen.

• Tap on “Content Restrictions” followed by “Web content.”

• Select “Limit Adult Websites,” and tap on “Add Website” under “Never Allow.” Type the URL you wish to block and press “Done.”

If you open the blocked website on your iPhone, you will get a content restricted error. Make sure to add the Screen Time passcode to your iPhone so that no one can allow the websites without your permission.

Tip : use the BlockSite app on iOS if you don’t like the idea of using Screen Time to block websites.

You can block websites across all devices on the same Wi-Fi network by modifying the router settings. Follow the instructions below:

• Open the router’s admin page and enter the username and password. You will find all this information written under the router.
• You need to look for the parental controls or blocked sites option inside the router settings under the Advanced or Security tab, depending on the router. Add the websites you want to block. You can even block websites using keywords.

Whether you’re on Windows, Mac or Linux, you can use the Hosts file to block specific websites. It may sound technical, but it’s really not that bad and may appeal to those who like the idea of blocking websites without having to mess around with third-party software. It will block the sites on all browsers.

Follow these instructions to block sites with the hosts file on each desktop platform.

Edit Hosts File in Windows

• Go to “C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc” and open the “hosts” file using Notepad.
• Scroll to the bottom, then under all the hash symbols (you can delete everything marked with the hash symbol if you like so you have a clean sheet), type “127.0.0.1” followed by “localhost.”
• On the next line, type “127.0.0.1” followed by the address of the site you want to block, then repeat this step for every other site you want to block.

Edit Hosts File in Linux and Mac

The process is the same as for Windows , except you need to navigate to the “/etc” directory to open the hosts file (with superuser permission).

If you simply want to restrict explicit content such as pornography, images of violence, etc., from appearing in Google search results, the easiest way is to enable SafeSearch Filters.

• Open Settings” option at the bottom.
• Select “Search Settings” from the menu.

• Check the box next to “Turn on Safe Search”.

The disadvantage of this method is that it does not allow you to choose which websites to block manually.

iOS 18: How to Easily Get Rid of Banners and More on Safari Webpages

Turn some website elements to dust in the blink of an eye with this new feature.

• Apple software beta tester, "Helps make our computers and phones work!" - Zach's grandparents

Apple released  iOS 18  to the general public on Sept. 16, a week after the company announced its new  iPhone 16 lineup ,  Apple Watch Series 10  and  more at its September event . The update brings new features to your iPhone, like the ability to customize your home screen and RCS messaging . It also brings a new feature to your Safari app called Distraction Control.

This new feature can hide certain webpage elements, like banners, from view on webpages you visit frequently. That way you don't get distracted by things and can jump right into the website.

Here's what you need to know about Safari's Distraction Control feature.

How to hide website elements with Distraction Control

1. Open Safari. 2. Go to a webpage. 3. Tap the Reader icon in your address bar -- it's on the left side of the bar and looks like a rectangle with two dashes beneath it. 4. Tap Hide Distracting Items .

Safari will take you back to the website, and you now have to select which items to hide. Once you've tapped an item, a perimeter will appear around it with the word Hide in the center. Tap Hide  and the item will disappear like it was snapped by Thanos in the Avengers. 

Already receive our newsletters and don't need to see the signup form anymore? Now you don't have to!

What Distraction Control hides

Distraction Control can hide certain banners, pop-ups and other items you might see on a webpage. For instance, if you visit a news site and always see a form to receive that site's newsletter, you can block the form from appearing now and every time you visit the website later. Once you enable Distraction Control, you have to select which items on a webpage the feature targets.

Will Distraction Control work on every website?

Distraction Control can work on every website, but you have to enable it on each individual webpage. For every site you visit, you have to turn Distraction Control on and select which elements to hide. That means you can't enable the feature once and be done. 

Will Distraction Control always hide items?

Not necessarily. Distraction Control won't permanently remove ads or other areas that constantly change. For example, you can't hide an ad that's in a window within a webpage, but you can hide banners and other static elements.

You can also see what Distraction Control is blocking if you want to take a peek. If you enable Distraction Control on a certain webpage, a little blue indicator will appear in your address bar to let you know the feature is working on that page. You can click this indicator and then click Show Hidden Items to reveal everything that Distraction Control is hiding.

WebKit Features in Safari 18.0

Sep 16, 2024

by Jen Simmons

New in Safari 18

Web apps for mac, spatial web, managed media source, web inspector, safari extensions, deprecations, bug fixes and more, updating to safari 18.0.

Safari 18.0 is here. Along with iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia and visionOS 2, today is the day another 53 web platform features, as well as 25 deprecations and 209 resolved issues land in WebKit, the rendering engine driving Safari.

Distraction Control

Distraction Control lets you hide distracting items as you browse the web, such as sign-in banners, cookie preference popups, newsletter signup overlays, and more, in Safari for iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia.

We always recommend using semantic HTML when creating a website, including <video> , <main> , <article> and other elements that describe content. Doing so helps ensure both Safari Reader and Safari Viewer work best for the users of your website.

iPhone Mirroring and remote inspection

With iPhone Mirroring on macOS Sequoia, you can use your iPhone from your Mac. Combine it with remote inspection from Safari, and now it’s easier than ever to test and debug websites on iOS using Web Inspector .

Get set up for remote inspection by first ensuring you have Safari’s developer tools enabled on your Mac (if you can see the Develop menu in Safari, you’ve already done this step). Next, enable Web Inspector on your iPhone at Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced > Web Inspector. Then, you’ll need to connect the device to your Mac using a cable to grant permission. Once plugged in, your device will appear in the Develop menu in Safari. Finally, to enable wireless debugging, go to Safari on macOS > Develop > [your device] > Connect via Network.

Now you can use Web Inspector to wirelessly debug websites running on iPhone anytime. And with iPhone Mirroring, you don’t even have to pull out your phone. Everything is on your Mac’s screen.

Learn more about remote inspection by reading Inspecting iOS and iPadOS , or by watching Rediscover Safari developer features from WWDC. Learn more about iPhone Mirroring 1 on apple.com .

Last year , we added support for web apps in macOS Sonoma. You can add any website to your dock — whether or not it was built with a Manifest file, Service Worker, or other technology to customize the web app experience. Go to the site in Safari, then File > Add to Dock… where you can customize the icon, change the name, and even adjust the URL. Then, just click on the web app icon in your Dock, and the website will open as a stand-alone app.

This year brings two improvements to web apps on Mac.

Opening links

macOS Sequoia adds support for opening links directly in web apps. Now, when a user clicks a link, if it matches the scope of a web app, that link will open in the web app instead of their default web browser. For example, imagine you have added MDN Web Docs to your Dock. Then a colleague sends you a link to an MDN page in Messages, Mail, Slack, Discord, IRC, or any non-browser application on your Mac. Now when you click on that link, it will open in the MDN Web Docs web app instead of your default browser.

Clicking a link within a browser will maintain the current behavior. This feature only affects links opened elsewhere. (When a user is in Safari, clicking on a link that matches the scope of a web app that is added to Dock, they will see an “Open in web app” banner, unless they have previously dismissed the banner.)

By default, this behavior applies when the link matches the host of the web page used to create the web app. As a developer, you can refine this experience by defining the range of URLs that should open in the web app with the scope member in the web app manifest .

Extension support

Now users can personalize web apps on Mac with Safari Web Extensions and Content Blockers. Navigate to the web app’s Settings menu to access all the installed Content Blockers and Web Extensions. Any enabled in Safari will be on by default in the web app. Each web app is uniquely customizable, just like Safari profiles.

View Transitions

WebKit added support for the View Transitions API in Safari 18. It provides an optimized browser API to animate elements from one state to another. Safari supports the CSS View Transitions Module Level 1 specification that adds new CSS properties and pseudo-elements for defining transition animations, along with a new browser API to start transition animations and react to different transition states. It works by capturing the current (old) state of the page and applying an animated transition to the new state. By default, the browser applies a cross-fade between the states.

Call the document.startViewTransition() method to initiate the capture. You can pass a callback function as the first argument to make DOM state changes between the old and new captures. The method returns a ViewTransition object which contains promises that can be used to track when the view transition starts or ends.

Once the states are captured, a pseudo-element tree is built which can be targeted with CSS, allowing you to modify the CSS animations used for the transitions. The animations out of the old page state and into the new page state can be modified via the ::view-transition-new(*) and ::view-transition-old(*) selectors. You can also ask the browser to independently track state changes for a specific element by naming it with the CSS view-transition-name property. You can then use the pseudo-elements to customize animations for it.

The :active-view-transition pseudo-class becomes active on the root element when a view transition is running.

The example below demonstrates state management with tabbed navigation. Each tab view has a custom transition animation out and a subtly different animation in, while the tabs themselves rely on the default page transition.

Style Queries

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for Style Queries when testing CSS Custom Properties. Similar to how developers can use Sass mixins, Style Queries can be used to define a set of reusable styles that get applied as a group.

Here, if the --background custom property is set to black, then certain styles will be applied — in this case to make the headline and paragraph text color white.

Don’t forget to pay attention the HTML structure. By default, Style Queries reference the styles on the direct parent element. You can create a different reference through the use of Container Query names.

currentcolor and system color keywords in Relative Color Syntax

Support for Relative Color Syntax shipped in Safari 16.4 . It lets you define colors in a more dynamic fashion, creating a new color from an existing color. The value lch(from var(--color) calc(L / 2) C H) for instance uses the lch color space to take the variable --color and calculate a new color that’s half its lightness, calc(L / 2) .

Now in Safari 18.0, the first browser to ship support, you can reference the currentcolor or a system color keyword as you define the new color. For example, this code will set the background color to be the same color as the text color, only 4 times lighter, as calculated in the oklch color space.

Being able to reference system color keywords opens up another world of options. System colors are like variables that represent the default colors established by the OS, browser, or user — defaults that change depending on whether the system is set to light mode, dark mode, high contrast mode, etc. For example, canvas represents the current default background color of the HTML page, while fieldtext matches the color of text inside form fields. Find the full list of system colors in CSS Color level 4 .

Relative Color Syntax lets you define dynamic connections between colors in your CSS, lessening the need to control color through variables in a tightly-regimented design system. Learn more about Relative Color Syntax by watching this portion of What’s new in CSS from WWDC23.

Translucent accent colors

Partially transparent colors in accent-color are now blended on top of the Canvas system color to match the latest updates to the web standard. This means that any of the many ways to define colors using an alpha channel will now work as expected when used to define an accent color for a form control.

Animating display

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for transition animation of the display property.

Many developers are excited to use @starting-style along with transition-behavior and display: none interpolation. WebKit for Safari 17.4 added general support for transition-behavior , including transition-behavior: allow-discrete . WebKit for Safari 17.5 added support for @starting-style , letting you define starting values for transitioning an element as it’s created (or re-created). Now in WebKit for Safari 18.0, you can use these features together to transition the display property.

Backdrop Filter

Originally shipped in Safari 9.0, backdrop filter provides a way to apply graphics effects to the content behind a particular element. You can apply backdrop-filter to a headline, for example, and everything behind the headline will be blurred, or have decreased saturation, or increased contrast. Any of the filter functions from SVG can be used — blur() , brightness() , contrast() , drop-shadow() , grayscale() , hue-rotate() , invert() , opacity() , saturate() , and sepia() .

For many years, backdrop filter only worked in Safari. It was available when you prefixed the property with -webkit-backdrop-filter . Now, starting in Safari 18.0, you don’t need the prefix. We also improved our implementation, fixing bugs and boosting interoperability.

This demo shows eight different filters and what you might do with each one alone. You can, of course, combine filters to create even more interesting results. With backdrop filter supported in Safari since 2015, Edge since 2018, Chrome since 2019, Samsung Internet since 2020, and Firefox since 2022, this is a great time to consider the kind of graphic design possibilities it enables.

Content visibility

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for content-visibility . This property controls whether or not an element renders its contents in a fashion that’s useful for making performance optimizations. It lets you communicate to the browser that certain portions of the page will likely be initially offscreen, and suggest they be omitted from layout and rendering. This can make the page load faster.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds parsing support for the custom value for the prefers-contrast media query. (It does not return “true” on Apple platforms, since there is no forced-colors mode in iOS, iPadOS, macOS or visionOS.)

Safari 18.0 for visionOS 2 adds support for immersive-vr sessions with WebXR . Now you can create fully immersive experiences for people using Apple Vision Pro and deliver them through the web. WebXR scenes are displayed using hardware-accelerated graphics driven by WebGL .

Safari for visionOS 2 supports the new WebXR transient-pointer input mode. It lets you make the most of natural input on visionOS, and allow your users to interact with a look and a pinch.

If you want to animate a 3D model of the user’s hands, Safari for visionOS 2 also includes support for WebXR hand tracking . To ensure privacy, permission to allow hand tracking will be requested from users at the start of their WebXR session.

Learn all about WebXR on visionOS 2 by watching Build immersive web experiences with WebXR from WWDC. Learn more about transient-pointer input mode by reading Introducing natural input for WebXR in Apple Vision Pro .

Spatial photos and panoramas

One of the amazing experiences you can have on Apple Vision Pro is looking at spatial photos and panoramas. The web is a great place to share these photos with others.

When you open the Photos app in visionOS, you see your library of photos. When you tap an image, it appears alone in a floating frame in front of you. Spatial photos appear at just the right height and viewing angle to make it feel like you’ve gone back to a moment in time. A second tap of the UI breaks a spatial photo out of its frame, becoming even more immersive. Similarly, a panorama floats in a frame on first tap. Then on second tap of the UI, it expands to wrap all around you, creating a fully immersive experience.

Now in Safari 18.0 for visionOS 2, you can use the JavaScript Fullscreen API to create a similar experience on the web. You can embed the photo in a web page, and provide the ability to tap. The photo will pop into a floating frame as the Safari window disappears. Then when the user taps on the spatial photo or panorama UI that visionOS provides, the photo will further expand to create a more immersive experience. When they exit the image, the Safari window will return.

Let’s walk through how to support experiencing a spatial photo or panorama on the web using Fullscreen API. First, include the image on your web page using any of the techniques used for years. Here, we can embed a flattened panoramic photo into the web page using simple HTML.

Then using JavaScript, we’ll trigger .requestFullscreen() on tap. Perhaps like this.

You could, of course, create your own UI for the user to tap, rather than making the entire photo the tap target.

Spatial images work just the same, although it’s likely we want to provide fallbacks for browsers that do not support HEIC files . We can do so with the picture element.

Spatial images are stereoscopic, with both a left and right channel. In Safari, when the image is embedded in the web page, the browser will show the left channel. And there’s no need to worry about providing a fallback of any sort for Safari on macOS, iOS, or iPadOS — the stereoscopic HEIC file works great.

This technique will also cause images to go fullscreen in any browser that supports Fullscreen API. Learn more about adding panorama and spatial photos to your websites by watching Optimize for the spatial web from WWDC.

Shaping interaction regions on visionOS

As a web developer, you’re very familiar with how link styling works on the web. For decades you’ve been able to use CSS to style text-decoration , color and more for :link , :hover , :active , and :visited states. You’ve also been able to adjust the size of the invisible tap target through use of padding.

Apple Vision Pro adds a new dimension to how links work — tap targets are visible on visionOS. Anytime a user looks at an interactive element, it’s highlighted to let them know that it can be tapped. And you as a designer or developer can intentionally design how an interaction region looks. You may want to add padding, for instance, or even a rounded corner to the otherwise invisible box.

Now in Safari in visionOS 2 , when you use CSS clip-path to change the shape of tappable area of a link, the visible interaction region will change shape as well. Interactive UI elements built with SVG and cursor: pointer will also be highlighted with the proper shape. Learn more by watching Optimize for the spatial web from WWDC.

Video on visionOS

Safari for visionOS 2 adds support for docking fullscreen videos into the current Environment . Anytime a user is watching a video fullscreen, they can tap the mountain symbol to enter an immersive experience. Turning the Digital Crown adjusts the immersion.

Writing Suggestions

At last year’s WWDC, Apple unveiled inline predictive text on iOS, iPadOS, macOS and more. It helps users input text faster by predicting what they might be typing and finishing the word, phrase or even a whole sentence when the user taps the space bar. Now, WebKit for Safari 18.0 on iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, macOS Sequoia and macOS Sonoma brings inline predictive text to the web.

While inline predictive text makes for a fantastic, personalized user experience, there might be specific situations on the web where it’s better to not have predictions. WebKit for Safari 18.0 on iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, macOS Sequoia and macOS Sonoma gives web developers the opportunity to disable inline predictions through the writingsuggestions attribute. By default, writing suggestions is set to true. You can turn off the capability by including the writingsuggestions="false" attribute on any type of text input field.

WebKit for Safari on iOS 18 adds haptic feedback for <input type=checkbox switch> . This means, now when a user taps a switch control on iPhone, a single tap is felt — just like how toggling a switch feels in Settings app on iOS. Try this demo to see what it’s like.

Date and time inputs

WebKit for Safari 18.0 on macOS improves accessibility support for date and time input field types. Now <input type="date"> , <input type="datetime-local"> , and <input type="time"> elements work properly with VoiceOver.

Usually elements have the labels they need, but sometimes there is no text label for a particular button or UI. In this situation, ARIA can be used to provide an accessible label. The aria-label attribute provides names of labels while aria-roledescription provides the description for the role of an element.

On very rare occasions, you may need to override aria-label or aria-roledescription to provide different names or descriptions specifically for braille. The aria-braillelabel and aria-brailleroledescription attributes provide such an ability. They exist to solve very specific needs, including educational contexts where the site needs to render the specific braille table dot pattern. If you do use braille-related ARIA attributes, be sure to test them using a braille reader. If in doubt, relying on the accessible name from content or aria-label / aria-roledescription is almost always the better user experience . WebKit has supported these ARIA attributes for years.

Now, WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for the ariaBrailleLabel and ariaBrailleRoleDescription element reflection properties. These make it possible to get and set the aria-braillelabel and aria-brailleroledescription ARIA attributes on DOM elements directly via JavaScript APIs, rather than by using setAttribute and getAttribute .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for Unicode 15.1.0 characters in RegExp. Unicode 15.1 added 627 characters, bringing the total of characters to 149,813. Now, these new characters can be used in regular expressions.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 also adds support for the v flag with RegExp.prototype[Symbol.matchAll] . providing more powerful ways to match Unicode characters, as specified in the ECMAScript 2024 standard.

For example, you can now specify to only match on Latin characters, while avoiding matching on Cyrillic script characters.

Or split a string matching on Emojis.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for URL.parse() , a way to parse URLs which returns null rather than an exception when parsing fails.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 expands Declarative Shadow tree support by adding the shadowRootDelegatesFocus and shadowRootClonable IDL attributes to the <template> element. It also adds the shadowRootSerializable attribute and shadowRootSerializable IDL attribute to the <template> element, enabling those using Declarative Shadow roots to opt into making them serializable. Serializing can be done through the new getHTML() method that has been added at the same time.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for PopStateEvent ’s hasUAVisualTransition , indicating whether the user agent has a visual transition in place for the fragment navigation.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for subresource integrity in imported module scripts, which gives cryptographic assurances about the integrity of contents of externally-hosted module scripts.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for the bytes() method to the Request, Response , Blob , and PushMessageData objects. This replaces the need for web developers to call arrayBuffer() , which can be difficult to use, and wraps the result in a Uint8Array . Calling bytes() is now the recommended way going forward when you need to access the underlying bytes of the data these objects represent.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for feature detecting text fragments by exposing document.fragmentDirective . Note that the returned object (a FragmentDirective ) doesn’t provide any functionality, but it’s helpful if you need to know if Fragment Directives are supported by the browser.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for the willReadFrequently context attribute for the getContext() method. It indicates whether or not a lot of read-back operations are planned. It forces the use of a software accelerated 2D or offscreen canvas, instead of hardware accelerated. This can improve performance when calling getImageData() frequently.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 extends 2D canvas support for currentcolor . It can now be used inside color-mix() or Relative Color Syntax. Here currentcolor will default to the computed color property value on the canvas element.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds Workers support for both Managed Media Source (MMS) and Media Source Extensions ( MSE ). This can be especially helpful on complex websites that want to ensure continuous and smooth video playback even when other site activity (such as live commenting) causes a very busy main thread. You can see the performance difference in this demo .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for the WebRTC HEVC RFC 7789 RTP Payload Format. Previously, the WebRTC HEVC used generic packetization instead of RFC 7789 packetization. This payload format provides a new option for improving videoconferencing, video streaming, and delivering high-bitrate movies and TV shows.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for MediaStreamTrack processing in a dedicated worker. And it adds support for missing WebRTC stats.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for secure HTTPS for all images, video, and audio by upgrading passive subresource requests in mixed content settings. This means that if some files for a website are served using HTTPS and some are served using HTTP (known as “mixed content”), all images and media will now be auto-upgraded to HTTPS, in adherence with Mixed Content Level 2 .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for six new WebGL extensions:

• EXT_texture_mirror_clamp_to_edge
• WEBGL_render_shared_exponent
• WEBGL_stencil_texturing
• EXT_render_snorm
• OES_sample_variables
• OES_shader_multisample_interpolation

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for fuzzy search code completion in the Web Inspector’s CSS source editor.

Two years ago at WWDC22, we announced support for passkeys — a groundbreaking industry-standard way to login to websites and app services. Passkeys provide people with an extremely easy user experience, while delivering a profound increase in security. To learn more, watch Meet Passkeys or read Supporting passkeys .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for three new features as we continue to improve passkeys. First, Safari 18.0 adds support for using mediation=conditional for web authentication credential creation. This allows websites to automatically upgrade existing password-based accounts to use passkeys. Learn more by watching Streamline sign-in with passkey upgrades and credential managers from WWDC.

Second, WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for using passkeys across related origins. This lets websites use the same passkey across a limited number of domains which share a credential backend.

And third, WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for the WebAuthn prf extension. It allows for retrieving a symmetric key from a passkey to use for the encryption of user data.

Safari 18.0 also adds support for Mobile Device Management of extension enabled state, private browsing state, and website access on managed devices. This means schools and businesses that manage iOS, iPadOS, or macOS devices can now include the configuration of Safari App Extensions, Content Blockers, and Web Extensions in their management.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 adds support for funds transfer via Apple Pay.

While it’s rare to deprecate older technology from the web, there are occasions when it makes sense. We’ve been busy removing -webkit prefixed properties that were never standardized, aging media formats that were never supported in other browsers, and more. This helps align browser engines, improve interoperability, and prevent compatibility problems by reducing the possibility that a website depends on something that’s not a web standard.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 removes support for OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D ’s commit() method.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 deprecates support for a number of rarely used -webkit prefixed CSS pseudo-classes and properties — and even one -khtml prefixed property.

• -webkit-alt and alt properties
• :-webkit-animating-full-screen-transition pseudo-class
• :-webkit-full-screen-ancestor pseudo-class
• :-webkit-full-screen-controls-hidden pseudo-class
• :-webkit-full-page-media pseudo-class
• :-webkit-full-screen-document pseudo-class
• :-khtml-drag pseudo-class

WebKit for Safari 18.0 also deprecates support for the resize: auto rule. Support for the resize property remains, just as it’s been since Safari 4. The values Safari continues to support include : none , both , horizontal , vertical , block , inline , plus the global values. Early versions of CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 3 defined auto , but it was later written out of the web standard.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 also deprecates support for non-standardize WEBKIT_KEYFRAMES_RULE and WEBKIT_KEYFRAME_RULE API in CSSRule .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 removes support for the JPEG2000 image format. Safari was the only browser to ever provide support.

If you’ve been serving JPEG2000 files using best practices, then your site is using the picture element to offer multiple file format options to every browser. Safari 18.0 will simply no longer choose JPEG2000, and instead use a file compressed in JPEG XL, AVIF, WebP, HEIC, JPG/JPEG, PNG, or Gif — choosing the file that’s best for each user. Only one image will be downloaded when you use <picture> , and the browser does all the heavy lifting.

We have noticed that some Content Deliver Networks (CDN) use User Agent sniffing to provide one file to each UA, offering only JPEG2000 images to Safari — especially on iPhone and iPad. If you expect this might be happening with your site, we recommend testing in Safari 18.0 on both macOS Sequoia and iOS or iPadOS 18. If you see problems, contact your SaaS provider or change your image delivery settings to ensure your website provides fallback images using industry best practices.

If you notice a broken site, please file an issue at webcompat.com .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 removes [[VarNames]] from the global object to reflect changes in the web standard, a change that now allows this code to work:

WebKit for Safari 18.0 removes support for non-standard VTTRegion.prototype.track .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 removes the last bits of support for AppCache.

When AppCache first appeared in 2009, in Safari 4, it held a lot of promise as a tool for caching web pages for use offline. It was imagined as “HTML5 Application Cache” back when HTML itself was being further expanded to handle more use cases for web applications. A developer could create a simple cache manifest file with a list of files to be cached. Its simplicity looked elegant, but there was no mechanism for cache busting, and that made both developing a site and evolving the site over time quite frustrating. AppCache also had security challenges. So new web standards were created to replace it. Today, developers use Service Workers and Cache Storage instead.

WebKit deprecated AppCache with a warning to the Console in Safari 11.0. Then in 2021, we removed support for AppCache from Safari 15.0, with a few exceptions for third-party users of WKWebView . Now we are removing those exceptions. This change to WebKit will only affect the rare web content loaded in older third-party apps that have JavaScript code which relies on the existence of AppCache related interfaces.

WebKit for Safari 18.0 removes the SVGAnimateColorElement interface, as well as the non-standard getTransformToElement from SVGGraphicsElement .

WebKit for Safari 18.0 removes support for four non-standard Web APIs:

• KeyboardEvent.altGraphKey
• AES-CFB support from WebCrypto
• KeyboardEvent.prototype.keyLocation
• HashChangeEvent ’s non-standard initHashChangeEvent() method

Deprecated some legacy WebKit notification names including:

• WebViewDidBeginEditingNotification
• WebViewDidChangeNotification
• WebViewDidEndEditingNotification
• WebViewDidChangeTypingStyleNotification
• WebViewDidChangeSelectionNotification

In addition to all the new features, WebKit for Safari 18.0 includes work to polish existing features.
