How To Remove Website Trackers From Safari?

To remove website trackers from Safari on macOS Sonoma and newer versions, follow these concise instructions:

For macOS:

  1. Open Safari.
  2. Choose SafariSettings... from the menu bar.
  3. Click on the Advanced tab.
  4. Check the box next to Use advanced tracking and fingerprinting protection.
  5. Click the dropdown menu below and select in all browsing.

This feature helps remove tracking parameters from copied URLs and prevents cross-site tracking when browsing.

For iOS & iPadOS:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Safari.
  3. Scroll to the bottom and tap on Advanced.
  4. Under Privacy, tap Advanced Tracking and Fingerprint Protection.
  5. Select All Browsing.

These steps ensure Safari strips identifying components from URLs while leaving the rest intact, preserving link functionality without unique trackers.

Remember, this feature might not remove tracking information from every site, and it doesn't affect websites that track activity directly within their own domains. If you encounter persistent issues with specific sites, consider clearing website data or managing cookies within Safari preferences:

  1. Go to SafariPreferencesPrivacy tab.
  2. Click Manage Website Data….
  3. Select any website whose cookies you want to delete.
