GlimmerBlocker

What is GlimmerBlocker?

This ad-blocker provides a unique approach to blocking ads on Safari without compromising the stability and performance of the browser. Unlike other ad-blockers that rely on intrusive hacks like InputManager and ApplicationEnhancer, this solution is implemented as an HTTP proxy, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with Safari as well as other native macOS applications that use HTTP. This innovative technique allows the ad-blocker to function reliably, even when Apple releases new versions of Safari, without causing any unexpected issues or instability. Furthermore, the ad-blocker's proxy-based implementation ensures compatibility across various browsers and applications on the Mac operating system, providing a consistent and reliable ad-blocking experience
