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 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?

            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

                Thanks for that. Apparently a lot of apple simps are on here, since in getting downvoted a lot for just expressing distaste with the shitty practices of an evil corporation, which btw in time nearly everything I hate about them is getting legislated against by the EU. They are an anti-consumer pile of dogshit company.

      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 professional programmers I meet use Linux. A few even scrap MacOS out to install Linux on them.
