# General
This article is about AdGuard for Safari, which safeguards only your Safari browser. To protect your entire device, [download the AdGuard app](https://agrd.io/download-kb-adblock)
AdGuard for Safari was designed to conform to Apple's restrictions for ad blocking browser extensions and is the most popular ad blocker for Safari. Although it can’t be compared to our desktop ad blocking apps, it's free and can protect you from ads, trackers, phishing, and malicious websites.

![General tab](https://cdn.adtidy.org/public/Adguard/Blog/AG_for_Safari_in-depth_review/General.png)
The first tab is the General screen where you can set up basic things like notifications, update intervals, and launching AdGuard at system startup. You can also choose to display the AdGuard icon in the menu bar. There you can also turn on content blockers to block ads, trackers, annoyances, etc.
