I just wanted to share with you the work of this developer on GitHub, I am a macOS and iOS user and I can’t wait to use this new FOSS adblocker (there are no others on macOS).
I’m not a computer scientist and I don’t have expertise but I try to help by spreading the spread, maybe someone can help or share it again!
Thank you all! P.S. I’m not the developer so I can’t answer any question
My only question: does it block YouTube ads?
I don’t know the reason why you are using MacOS and iOS but you shouldn’t
Most professional programmers, graphic artist, and designers I met use MacOS.
Most professional programmers I meet use Linux. A few even scrap MacOS out to install Linux on them.
Was gifted an iPhone 13, been a lifelong android user. Hate to admit how much I love my iPhone. Hate not having my 512gb microSD card full of music but the multi day battery life makes up for it.
I agree partly with your point of view but a iPhone is still a phone that you cannot really tweak and flash and new rom for example
Are you saying Android phones can’t have multi day battery? Screenshot of the battery usage of my 3 year old POCO phone…
The repository only has three files in it
It hasn’t seen a release yet, code is here:
github.com/arjpar/WebShield-staging/tree/ldev
I’m not endorsing it, never heard of it before this post, but this was literally the second line of the readme
Oh my bad. I thought the code link was a link to the current page.
So it’s swift with no release yet. I hope he releases a stable version soon
The only solution is to use Firefox hardened it and install uBlock Origin 😁

Safari iOS is cancer. Source: am developer who supports websites on Safari iOS.
I am a little curious how this could work though. My impression is that iOS is extremely locked down. Can’t even use a browser that isn’t Safari with a skin.

Safari supports extensions these days, including first-class support for content blockers

It’s really best in class in that regard. It’s the most customizable mobile browser. Firefox in android has more extensions, but Safari’s actually integrate better in the UI and you can use shortcuts for simple things too.

Safari is different on iOS, you can’t just take for granted we’re just talking about “Safari” here. Since when have they supported extensions on mobile?
