AI CleanWeb is an AI-based ad-blocking tool that covers the Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers as well as Mac and iPhone platforms. Its core goal is to block ads, trackers, browser fingerprinting, and cookie consent pop-ups while users browse the web, and it emphasizes that all detection runs on the user's own device, with browsing data not sent to servers.
In terms of main capabilities, AI CleanWeb uses AI heuristics to detect and block tracking behavior in real time, rather than relying only on static filter lists. Specific features include: AI smart ad detection, which can catch ads missed by traditional blockers; AI cookie auto-handling, which automatically closes all cookie consent pop-ups; AI anti-ad-blocking countermeasures, which can neutralize websites' detection of ad blockers; AI Fingerprint Shield, which detects and blocks canvas, WebGL, and audio fingerprinting in real time; AI privacy score, which gives each website a grade from A+ to F; AI telemetry blocking, which blocks telemetry and data collection endpoints called by AI services and trackers; and AI Shield Report, which shows blocked threats and currently enabled AI defenses.
In terms of usage, users can install the corresponding browser extension in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and Chromium browsers such as Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi can use the Chrome version. The Mac app can block ads and trackers at the network layer, extending protection to all applications in the system, not just browsers. The macOS version requires macOS 13 or later and is notarized by Apple.
Use cases include ad and tracking protection during everyday web browsing, avoiding the nuisance of cookie pop-ups, reducing browser fingerprint exposure, and Mac users who want system-level blocking.
In terms of pricing, AI CleanWeb can be installed and used for free, with no account or registration required, and the free version can block ads and trackers over the long term. The Pro version costs $39.99 per year (about $3.33 per month) and adds AI cookie handling, anti-ad-blocking bypass, per-site AI privacy scores, AI telemetry blocking, the HaGeZi Pro DNS blocklist, and other features. The Ultimate version costs $69.99 per year (about $5.83 per month) and, on top of Pro, adds AI Fingerprint Shield, AI Shield Report, the HaGeZi Ultimate blocklist (more than 1.5 million domains), and more. Users can cancel their subscription at any time.
In terms of limitations, the official materials do not provide specific performance data for each platform, detailed comparative test results with other products, or explain the specific differences between the free and paid versions in the number of items blocked. AI CleanWeb officially states that it differs from AdGuard, Magic Lasso, and Wipr, the latter two of which support only Safari, while AdGuard is aimed at advanced users and requires payment for system-level filtering. The official materials also mention that uBlock Origin itself does not run on Safari, and only the reduced uBlock Origin Lite is available. Details such as the specific number of filtering rules and update frequency are not yet provided.
