- ratww 6y agoFirefox Focus for iOS seems to be open source, AdGuard and Ka-Block for macOS also seem to be, there might be more. About "trusting": Safari content blocking extensions don't access your page, they only tell the browser which elements to block and Safari handles it. Some commercial extensions have a "control panel" that has access to pages, but you can just not enable them (it's opt-in AFAIK) [1] [1] https://i.imgur.com/jH8DFc4.png https://i.imgur.com/jH8DFc4.png

- hombre_fatal 6y agoYou don't need to trust Safari content blockers because they can't access anything, they can just create static blocker rules. That's one of the key points of the system.
