K Blocker - Block Kardashian content

furtiv

Enjoy Kardashian-free web browsing. Instantly vanish Kim, Kylie, Khloe, Kendall, Kourtney, Caytlin, Kanye and the rest of the Kardashians from the interwebs.

K Blocker filters out links, websites and photos that contain keywords related to the Kardashian clan.

K Blocker uses the latest iOS Content Blocking capabilities. It integrates directly into Safari, so you do not need to change anything about the way you browse the web. Simply enable K Blocker and you will see how photos, images and links related to the Kardashians just disappear. K Blocker also blocks website URLs that contain Kardiashian-related keywords, so if you accidentally follow a link to one of these sites, you will only see a blank page.

In addition to working in Safari, K Blocker also works in certain apps that use Safari Webkit for web browsing. K Blocker does NOT work in apps such as Facebook for iOS or Twitter for iOS. However, it will work if you access these services via the Safari web browser.

LIMITATIONS: K Blocker is intended for entertainment purposes only. It has been tested on a large number of websites. It will dramatically reduce your exposure to Kardashian-related content. However, it cannot block 100% of the Kardashian content on 100% of the websites. It may also affect the display of some web content that mistakenly identifies as Kardashian-related.

DISCLAIMER: Reference to any celebrity, person, product, name or trademark is for descriptive purposes only and does not constitute or imply sponsorship or endorsement.
