- ms7m 6y agoIt does not. There is a handful of APIs that are blocked. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/assessing_your_safari_web_extension_s_browser_compatibility https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/saf...
- saagarjha 6y agoI think a more charitable interpretation is "not implemented".
- fomine3 6y agoFrom what Apple say for Content Blocker API on iOS, I suspect that they really avoid to implement those API. > In addition to blocking unwanted content, a Content Blocker extension protects privacy. For example, the extension doesn’t have access to users’ browsing activity and it can’t report activity to your app. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/ContentBlocker.html https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ge...
- airstrike 6y agoI've moved away from ublock origin to Ad Nauseam on firefox and it's such a huge improvement I can't imagine going back

- rubber_duck 6y ago> it's such a huge improvement I can't imagine going back In what way ?
- airstrike 6y agoIt actually blocks everything and the kitchen sink but also seems to break less stuff? It's just a more seamless experience
- ffpip 6y agoAdNauseam is a good way to get your account banned or your whole IP banned. It also doesn't do anything for privacy. It is based on uBO, so just use UBO.
- perryizgr8 6y ago> your account banned or your whole IP banned Getting banned from ads sounds like an amazing thing...
- comboy 6y agoUnless the ad company is also your e-mail, maps, photos and whatnot provider. (Why would...? Ha.)
- LeoNatan25 6y agoHere’s a crazy idea: don’t use that ad company.
- ffpip 6y agoAre you saying sites shouldn't use Google Ads, or users shouldn't use Google Products?
- ffpip 6y agoYou get banned from recaptcha and youtube too. They don't stop showing you ads. They just don't register your clicks as part of impressions. Open TOR. You get ads on all sites. But do a google search, you'll get a infinite captcha.
- owowow 6y agoBanned from where? What does AdNauseam do differently than uBO that would incentivize people to use it?

- whatsmyusername 6y agoI like the meme, however I'd be seriously concerned if it's running the ad JS in the background. Ad networks are a significant vector for malware. I don't know enough about the extension to be sure one way or the other.
