The only thing that is holding me back from not making safari my primary browser is not having an extension like ublock origin. This seems really promising.
I thought Ghostery has been the gold standard for a pretty long time now…?

#12Have you actually released this or passed Apple's review process? Soliciting external donations for higher level support gets into a grey area about Apple getting their cut from the apps it distributes. If you haven't registered as a non-profit you are also not doing yourself favors. I would be extremely upset if I donated and then you never made it to the store/got removed from the store because you didn't consider…
This shouldn’t really be an issue for EU users, right?

#13This might be silly but it would be awesome if you added a category for blocking blue check accounts on twitter

What are you missing specifically? I’ve been pretty happy with Ghostery and AdGuard Pro.

1blocker works well for me on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS https://1blocker.com/
If you want to use uBlock Origin on Webkit you can do it with Kagi's Orion browser. https://help.kagi.com/orion/browser-extensions/ublock-origin...

That should change the calculus for payments, but they
a) still need to affirm their model was deemed acceptable to Apple,
if they're limiting their market to EU users they should
b) say so up front, and
c) limit access to the app and origin of donations by region
because the problems I describe are material for everyone else.

#17The bar they need to clear right now seems to be Wipr2
can you compare/contrast to 1blocker?
Re: WebShield – A new wide-spectrum content blocker for Safari
#18It would be useful to describe what specifically this adds over existing Safari content blockers in that space.

I don't think soliciting external donations is against Apple's rules as long as those solicitations aren't happening within the app. Don't apps like Spotify give discounts for subscriptions bought outside the app?

#20Can someone explain what "wide-spectrum content blocker" means and how it differs from other ad blockers available for Safari?
