The obvious example is blocking YouTube ads in Safari: it's a hard and non-trivial task, up to the point that we had had to add a special shortcut that needed to be prompted manually every time you opened YouTube.įorget about that like it's never happened. The thing is, due to their "declarative" nature regular content blocking rules are quite narrow in terms of what you can achieve with them. Web Extensions open the door to a completely new world filled with new opportunities. Ok, but how will this change impact AdGuard ad blocker? After all, AdGuard uses Content Blocking API to block ads in Safari that - or rather, has been using it up until now. Yes, the extensions in Safari are somewhat limited in their capabilities compared to their desktop counterparts, but it should not take away from Apple and the team that worked on this innovation.
Safari has become the first iOS browser to support browser extensions that we all know and love. This is truly a revolutionary change, no need to tone it down. In iOS 15 Apple has added the support for so-called Safari Web Extensions.
