Dead internet theory

wBlock is a new ad-blocker for Safari. It supports (in general) everything Wipr, AdGuard for Safari/iOS, uBlock Origin Lite can do except for maybe multi-device sync

I can't use anything below iOS 17 because I use SwiftData, probably some other newer APIs too. Sorry.

WebShield shows up as multiple extensions, 1 content blocker for each category, and 1 for advanced blocking (a webextension). This is because each content blocker, I believe IIRC, …

For Wipr 2, on macOS you can see the rules here: `~/Library/Group Containers/group.wipr2.rules/Rules/` in the JSON files. Kaylee (Wipr dev) sources the blocker list data from these…

Yes! Me and 0xCube created WebShield & wBlock respectively in parallel in close collaboration with each other. They're pretty much sister projects. I do think since I create more f…

Well, WebShield is free & open source, those extensions may or may not. It's also a single app/codebase across macOS/iOS/iPadOS/visionOS. If you're happy with your current ad block…

Safari ad blocker extensions will never be as powerful as uBlock Origin in terms of the sheer number or types of content they can block, but they can be as performant or efficient,…

Wipr 2 is great! And so is the dev, with who I've talked to before. The difference between WebShield & Wipr 2 is WebShield allows you to specifically toggle on/off which lists you'…

Author here: No, not really. It uses AdGuard lists, SafariConverterLib by AdGuard for converting filter lists to Safari content blocking format. The only difference is that WebShie…

Author here (I'm not OP): It converts filter lists to Safari's content blocking API using SafariConverterLib (by AdGuard) and stores advanced blocking (scriptlets, extended css, cs…

Hey everyone, author of WebShield here! I had no idea this was posted here. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them here (including any that have bee…

What an incredibly specific application!

I never knew him, but it’s incredibly saddening to see someone around my age take their own life, or at any age for that matter. He seemed like he was a bright soul who fought for …

regardless of what you think of it, the drama is at least entertaining!

LonelyFans is the one of the more depressing platforms to exist.

I’m shocked that the ruling dynasty fell as quickly as it did, along with the military being ineffective and unwilling to stop the rebels given how long the civil war has been goin…

The fact that they even required a login in the first place is crazy for a terminal. I doubt this is going to convert users that previously didn't use Warp because it required a lo…

So it was not nearly abolished, if it was nearly abolished it would've passed the Senate exceeding the two-thirds vote required, which it didn't, and then would've nearly been rati…

Somewhat related: I hope there will be more news coverage/attention on the whole Ravio situation. It totally seems like something that should be reported on. Raivo, marketed as ope…

I wonder how much he was fine (if he was - they also have caning as a penalty). Singapore is known to be incredibly strict with criminal punishments. There was a recent $8 billion …

I was one of the main people that tried to port uBO Lite to Safari. uBO isn't possible to port because Safari doesn't support the relevant APIs. uBO Lite is also not possible, desp…
