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
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?
Safari on mobile iOS/iPad have supported extensions since iOS 15 (2021), it supported limited 3rd party content blockers since iOS 9 (2015)
Surprising. What do you have to do to publish such an extension? To get any app on your device typically apple must explicitly review and approve it 🤢
extensions on mobile are published as normal apps, so yes the process/requirements are the same as publishing any app on the app store
For a few years now.
