A

pple introduced content-blocking Safari

extensions in 2015 for iOS and 2016 for

macOS, offering third-party developers

a way to bring rule-based blocking

without requiring users to give up privacy. Extension

creators can produce and update unwanted lists

of URLs, structural page elements, and a few

other kinds of items that are unwanted or outright

malicious. These lists are loaded into Safari, which

handles blocking. User behaviour isn’t uploaded

– it’s a one-way street.
