Question 1

What is the best way to block ads?

Accepted Answer

The best way to block ads depends on your needs. For travelers, the most convenient option is a network-level ad blocker built into your eSIM, like Saily’s. It works automatically across all browsers without extra setup, blocks intrusive ads to save data, and helps reduce battery usage. Other methods include browser extensions (which only cover a single app) or manual DNS setups. A seamless, built-in solution is the simplest choice for a faster, distraction-free trip.

Question 2

How does Saily block ads?

Accepted Answer

Saily uses highly efficient DNS filtering. When your phone attempts to load a webpage, our network cross-references those background requests against a continuously updated list of known ad domains. If a request is flagged as an ad server, our network blocks the connection, stopping the ad from ever downloading to your screen.

Question 3

Is the Saily ad blocker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The ad blocker is included free with all Saily eSIM plans. There are no additional fees or subscriptions.

Question 4

Is the Saily ad blocker better than browser-based extensions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because Saily’s ad blocker provides comprehensive coverage. Browser extensions only block ads within the specific browser where they are installed, whereas Saily filters traffic across multiple browsers.

Question 5

Does the Saily ad blocker work with all Android and iPhone devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as your device supports eSIM technology. You can check our complete list of eSIM-compatible devices to be sure.

Question 6

Does the Saily ad blocker work with all browsers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because the blocking happens at the network level rather than in a browser extension, it can reduce screen clutter across major browsers, including Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. Some ads may still appear if they are hosted on the same domain as the website itself.

Question 7

Does an eSIM with ad blocker work in every country?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Saily’s ad blocker functions in all {destinationCountRounded}+ destinations where we offer eSIM data plans.

Question 8

Does the ad blocker work without the virtual location feature on?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ad blocker operates entirely independently of our virtual location feature. You get automatic ad blocking as part of Saily’s security features the moment you activate your plan and turn the toggle on.

Question 9

Can I use the Saily ad blocker with other eSIMs?

Accepted Answer

No, the ad blocker is a proprietary feature and it only works while you’re connected to a Saily eSIM data plan.

Question 10

Will the Saily ad blocker block content I want to see?

Accepted Answer

No, our blocklist strictly targets known ad and tracking domains. Regular website content, images, videos, and core functionality remain completely unaffected.

Question 11

Will the Saily ad blocker slow down my connection?

Accepted Answer

No, it actually does the opposite. Because the DNS filtering happens almost instantly at the network level, data-heavy video banners and ad scripts never load. Most users experience a boost in browsing speeds.

Question 12

Can I turn the Saily ad blocker off if needed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can toggle the feature on or off at any time directly from the home screen of the Saily app.

Question 13

Does the ad blocker compromise my privacy?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not track the websites you visit. The ad blocker checks domain names against our blocklist in real time. We do not monitor or store your browsing content.
