Mac users: what are you all using for ad blocking? Shocking confession: I haven’t really used one since SetApp got rid of AdGuard last year for its supposed Russian connections. As I recall, the software they offered in its place, AdLock, demanded a level of permissions that I wasn’t comfortable with. But man, I’m sick of the ads. I’ve tried subscribing to rules in LittleSnitch, but they end up blocking so many links I keep ending up turning it off and forgetting to turn it on again.
@misc I use AdGuard on my Mac with Safari, works like a charm. It’s slightly more involved than a browser extension and requires a bit of setup. I just went with the defaults and it’s been a peach.
@misc I’m in a similar boat. I haven’t used one in a while and just haven’t gotten back to it. Maybe switching to #Kagi for search inadvertently solved a lot of my ad issues because now I never see any search ads. Most of my time on my Mac is also now within non-Safari apps 🤷 . But if you find one that works out let me know.
