Regina Mühlich ✅, Datenschutz<p>Der Werbeblocker uBlock Origins wurde in der Lite-Variante erstmals als Preview für die macOS-Version von Safari vorgelegt.

Paul Wunderlich<p>Gibt es einen <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/adblocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adblocker</span></a> der die Trackingcodes überträgt, dabei aber subtil verändert? Wäre das nicht viel effektiver als komplettes Blocken?</p>

liferstate<p>Yes for once I am asking for advice: what's a good adblocker for Safari? I was using 1Block, but now I can't seem to download the new version. On laptop I'm using uBlock Origin with Firefox. Most of the adblockers in the Apple app store seem pretty scammy.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/adblocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adblocker</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/iphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iphone</span></a></p>
