@0xCUB3 thanks for this amazing extension! I'm on the latest macOS and Safari - is the blocked item count supposed to show on macOS? I only see the shield icon and the counter badge does not show |

No there isn't. The old method was unreliable, and with the new architecture, there isn't any way at all to count elements blocked by other extensions (the content blockers) |

thanks so much! I'm really liking wBlock a lot and it has made Safari very enjoyable (I've been using Chrome but it's such a resource/battery hog compared to Safari... but Safari was missing a solid adblocker). I was gonna install uBlock Origin Lite (since I use it with Chrome everywhere else) but I'm so glad to have given wBlock a try, now I wish I could use it everywhere else too! one thought though - it would be wonderful if there's a write-up or a link to one on what the various filters do and whether it's recommended to keep them on (why and why not. i.e. for some it can be like "good for these sites but take note of possible resource hog). |

I don't maintain filters, so it would be disingenuous for me to be an authoritative source on them. The ones you should keep enabled are generally the "recommended" ones, as there are no performance drawbacks to having more filters enabled. |

would there be a possibility to include a 'Load Optimised/Recommended Defaults" as a means of going back to the original recommended settings, especially after we messed around with the different filters. or is that just that Danger Zone option? |

Yes, if you click "restart onboarding," that will allow you to reset to defaults. |

What's Changed
Major Features & Improvements
7bc44aa,739ad1d,6e8d194,a8136c6,2986df7, convert wBlock Advanced to shared web extension #282)Converted wBlock Advanced from a Safari App Extension to a modern Web Extension. This brings cross-platform parity between macOS and iOS and enables GM_xmlhttpRequest routing through the native layer to bypass CORS.
7e95898,4648f1d,dee8a5a)Userscript auto-updates now use a two-phase check involving a lightweight
.meta.jsfetch to compare@versionbefore downloading the full script. Saves bandwidth and avoids unnecessary writes.d449392,d16ed05,5324790,82d968d)Migrated the BPC userscript from gitflic to Greasy Fork, and the BPC filter list to a Cloudflare Worker proxy. Both sources are now fast and reliable. All gitflic-specific DDoS bypass code has been removed, and wBlock will no longer require accessing any Russian sources.
956e677,672aa6b,4daab35,bd79061,61ae687,932aeb1,780ea1f)Added a full filter preprocessing pipeline with conditional evaluation (
!#if),!#includeresolution with same-origin checks and cycle detection, and unknown directive stripping.629e298,abc97a1,e540ade,3a2dc36,bcba829,e2067e7)Added parent/child element navigation, scroll tracking on iOS, and fixed keyboard escape not exiting zapper mode.
5d2c48e,562b9f9,2266a64,b6a2cc5,c8f2b59,2266a64)Rewrote zapper rule storage from UserDefaults to protobuf with proper CRUD and bulk sync support.
7a4c2f3, add AdGuard syntax highlighting to custom filter rule editor #264)The custom filter rule editor now has real-time AdGuard syntax highlighting.
Performance & Reliability
68a07c7,a57bad5,e718c93,986bde5,64c4e30)Faster site disable/enable, batched MainActor updates, coalesced rapid filter saves, and dictionary-based filter lookups replacing linear scans.
213f6e5,1600ab8,5726126,d7135e6)Split into focused extension files, shared extension handler boilerplate, and extracted common utilities.
79e4d49)Fixed auto-update telemetry logging the same skip message 80+ times per launch from extension processes. Now logs once.
3b3b7cd)Serialized WebExtension access to fix a data race crash.
67c3f91)Coalesced filter saves are now flushed before the app quits, preventing lost changes.
Bug Fixes
5fb6011, [BUG] Syntax Error in script injection in Safari #258)Fixed userscript metadata not being escaped before JS string literal injection.
b8e803e)Fixed iCloud sync adoption prompt not appearing on fresh installs.

9d94efb)Fixed regional filters showing as empty after app restart.
300f228)Fixed popup clipping on iPad by removing min-width constraint.
083b34c)Fixed stale rule count display when all filters are disabled.
3d8e770)Custom filter lists now auto-detect their title from
! Titlemetadata.UI/UX Improvements
3e5dd40)Tapping the Safari Rules pill now shows "Rule Capacity" (informational) instead of a warning when you're well under the limit.
1b12c42,eae74cc)Fixed icon alignment, cleaned up Export/Import buttons.
b52096c)Removed "(pending)" label from filters that haven't been downloaded yet.
a7971bc)Fixed icon and text misalignment in the apply changes summary cards.
eb35908)Replaced the auto-update interval slider with a cleaner picker.
c02e729)Removed unnecessary backgrounds and summary labels.
Localization
