Blacklist for Safari

Works great without crazy extra stuff you don’t need or eventually get charged for. Set up a block list online, load it in app, and the page won’t open. That’s all I want. Need to circumvent it? There’s ways around it, but that’s not what this is for. It works best at blocking waste of time sites. If you need accountability software, use parental block or just get a dumb phone. If you need basic functionality, this is one of the best apps I’ve seen in years!

I love the idea of an app where I can block any website that I configure through a different device. The main issue I face with this extension however is that I can simply bypass the extension by clicking on the aA button on Safari and clicking reload without content blockers even if I have screen time enabled which greys out the ability to turn off extensions. I think a way to fix this is to allow the user to choose a website to redirect to if a website is blocked. For example if I wanted to block reddit the extension would redirect to google.com. Or even just set the extension to go to about:blank by default. There’d be no way to disable content blockers on a website that I couldn’t visit in the first place. If it wasn’t for this one major issue it’d literally be a perfect extension.
