I’ve been using 1Blocker, which comes in two parts, one that has preconfigured lists that you can turn on and off and also make changes to, and one part (1Blocker button) that lets you change the configuration dynamically, such as using a contextual menu item on a banner to hide it in the future.
Some will let you dynamically change the configuration in ways that could let them read your web pages and track you if they want to, but it’s clear in the Safari Prefs (Extensions) which is which, even if the app itself isn’t. They can come in a flavor that makes it impossible for them to track you or access the pages you load–they basically hand a huge list (or several lists) of blocked addresses to Safari, and Safari does the blocking. You’re best bets for Safari are the Content Blocker extensions from the App stores (Mac and/or iOS).

On the security side, Safari 12 addresses a logic issue that could allow a malicious Web site to exfiltrate auto-filled data and improves data deletion to ensure clearing a history item actually clears visits with redirect chains. If you rely on Safari extensions, Jason Snell shares a workaround that lets you run disabled extensions. At the Eclectic Light Company, Howard Oakley has a more in-depth look at the changes. It now automatically turns off Safari extensions that hurt browsing performance and discontinues support for extensions that have been signed only by developers (and not reviewed by Apple) and most NPAPI plug-ins. Safari 12 also makes some big changes to how it interacts with extensions. The new version of Apple’s Web browser gains the capability to display Web site icons on tabs, adds support for allowing or blocking pop-ups on specific Web sites, and automatically suggests and fills a strong, unique password when creating an account or changing a password. #1641: LastPass breached, Live Text aids recipe input, fix for failed MobileDeviceUpdater installsĪpple has released Safari 12 for macOS 10.12.6 Sierra and 10.13.6 High Sierra with the same new features and under-the-hood changes that will be included in the upcoming release of 10.14 Mojave.
