The irony is that this is the model the new Chrome API was going towards, and Apple has been using it forever, but when Google goes to do it, everyone has tinfoil theories about how Google is specifically doing it to kill ad-block extensions, but when Apple does it, very few people complained.
Realistically, it's probably more security and battery efficient. I doubt they'll undo it.
- unicornfinder 6y agoTo be fair the ad-blockers available for Safari are severely limited compared to what can be done in Chrome. Things like YouTube ads for example aren't blocked reliably in Safari in my experience.
- ehsankia 6y agoThat was my point exactly, and no one ever claims Safari's model is done for bad reasons, but if Google were to do something similar to Safari, they would get a ton of hate.
