What do you use to block ads, cookie nags and email-subscription popovers? Or you just live with them?
- nckh 3y agoFor now, yes. But content blockers are the next big feature on my todo list.
- snazz 3y agoIs it possible for third-party browser apps to integrate with content blockers for Safari, or would you have to integrate your own content blocker into your app?
- nckh 3y agoUnfortunately this is not possible. Unless Apple opens that up, it's up to each app to embed its own content blocker.
- simbolit 3y agoThe blocklists used by uBlock origin are freely available: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/tree/master/filters https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/tree/master/filters
- nckh 3y agoThanks! I have to review whether they can be easily converted to WebKit's JSON-based content blocker format. But I suppose DuckDuckGo blockers can also be used as-is.
- steedsofwar 3y agoThis is one of my foremost requirements from a browser these days; how well does it block ads. As much as I like Safari it doesn’t seem to block ads as well as Brave, so Brave is my daily driver.
- nckh 3y agoSafari doesn't have an adblocker, but delegates to the ones you can install from the App Store. I totally understand that lacking a content blocker can be a deal breaker for some people. I wanted to ship my app to the App Store quickly in order to get user feedback.
