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.
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 been posted), if/when I get the time.
I like projects like this since Safari is probably the biggest competitor to Chrome, but historically Apple hasn't been kind to these sorts of extensions. I hope they're able to find a way to make it work, because Safari is well-integrated into the iOS ecosystem.
I have been using <a href="https://github.com/dgraham/Ka-Block">https://github.com/dgraham/Ka-Block</a> for years.<p>It works great. Kind of strange it's never mentioned when ad blockers are discussed.

Have 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.<p>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 or do due diligence on this process.
