SafaShield is a Safari content blocker app developed by NoVirusThanks Company Srl that was created to improve Safari web browsing security by blocking potentially suspicious and malicious domains. We provide built-in options to block most abused TLDs (such as domains that end in .top or .xyz), dynamic DNS domains, free hosting domains, internationalized domains, unsecure connections, and more. We added also options to protect the user's privacy by blocking ads and web trackers. Other useful features you can find aboard are the possibility to whitelist a domain so it will never be blocked, allow ads on websites you trust and that you visit frequently to support their work, block custom domain names and also custom domain TLDs (such as .it or .info). The main focus of this app is to reduce the attack surface by improving the Safari web browsing security with smart content blocking rules.
