I just wanted to share with you the work of this developer on GitHub, I am a macOS and iOS user and I can't wait to use this new FOSS adblocker (there are no others on macOS).

I'm not a computer scientist and I don't have expertise but I try to help by spreading the spread, maybe someone can help or share it again!

Thank you all! P.S. I'm not the developer so I can't answer any question

Safari on mobile iOS/iPad have supported extensions since iOS 15 (2021), it supported limited 3rd party content blockers since iOS 9 (2015)

extensions on mobile are published as normal apps, so yes the process/requirements are the same as publishing any app on the app store

Thanks for that. Apparently a lot of apple simps are on here, since in getting downvoted a lot for just expressing distaste with the shitty practices of an evil corporation, which btw in time nearly everything I hate about them is getting legislated against by the EU. They are an anti-consumer pile of dogshit company.

You’re arguing about tech tribalists while being one yourself my dude

I'm more like a corp hater in this case. If I could reliably run a FOSS OS on my phone I would
