A new wide-spectrum content blocker for Safari designed to be performant, efficient, and effective. - WebShieldApp/WebShield

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

    I don’t know the reason why you are using MacOS and iOS but you shouldn’t

    EDIT : I’ve seen that I got a lot of down vote. This post was not made with the idea of shitting on Apple, it was to say that this ecosystem is “good” only for some usecase, for one in particularly, working. You shouldn’t be using a Mac and an iPhone while wanting to be a bit private. And if you do, you are doing a big mistake

      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.

          Sounds like you haven’t met very many professional programmers then.

            Professional developer.

            Literally have tux tattooed on my chest.

            I write software that runs on enterprise Linux distributions (RHEL and its babies).

            I will only purchase a MBP to develop on right now, I do not load Linux on it.

            I love linux and for anything other than my primary dev box I run it there, but MacOs being Unix AND having the creature comforts AND the best desktop experience keeps me here.

            I miss i3 BUT not enough

      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.

        Are you saying Android phones can’t have multi day battery? Screenshot of the battery usage of my 3 year old POCO phone…

          Not at all. But also just wasn’t my experience. My last phone was the lg g9 and had horrid battery. I’ve seen the poco phone before. If I remember doesn’t it have a massive 5000mah battery?

        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

          Most people don’t care about that even a little bit. Back in the day I used to use various custom roms on my android devices, it was awesome. But that was then, I have a job and family now and I can’t just reset my phone on a whim because there’s some cool UI tweak in a new rom. Plus, most of the stuff that made custom roms worthwhile has been integrated into the OS nowadays, so the value add is significantly diminished.
