Unique

Easily allows whitelisting JavaScript, cookies, fonts, etc. on a per-site basis from within Safari. Sheriff is unique in this regard. Most other content blockers focus on an ad-blocking workflow or similar. Which is still beneficial, but tackles a different issue.

Would love to see this available for macOS. Having strict control over JavaScript, cookies, and fonts is a must for me.

I think this could become hugely popular with technical users if it was easier to discover. Searching “Sheriff” brings up lots of unrelated stuff.

Awesomeness.

Greatness in this app.

Finally

I've been looking for a content blocker like this off and on for years. My only gripe is it's not available for MacOS

Good app

Biggest downside is ex boyfriends and hackers use it to stalk you and get away with with. Going to police station and phone store on the 11th. No one’s privacy should be this easy to invade and control
