Minim Questions

A quick introduction to content blocking.

What's a content blocker?

A content blocker stops url resources from downloading. For example, a lot of websites load images from other websites. With a traditional blocker, these images would be hidden, but still actually download to your computer. With a content blocker, the images are not downloaded at all. You can configure Minim to block any/all page resources from the domain you are viewing and also from any third party sites not related to that domain.

Why should I block data?

Many websites utilize third party tracking scripts, these can be easily blocked with Minim - just disable third party scripts and you have instantly taken back some of your privacy. The next biggest issue is page bloat. Many sites on the internet will download data an order of magnitude larger than the content you are actually viewing. For those of you on slow connections or limited data plans this can severely degrade your browsing experience - even cost you money.

Why use Minim?

Minim uses a powerful "regex like" syntax for advanced domain matching. This allows you to easily create very specific, or more expansive block rules. It's also integrated right into Safari as an extension for ease of use. It is also built using the latest macOS technologies to be fast, and does not degrade your browsing experience. In fact it enhances your internet, as everything you decide to block is not just hidden (like javascript based blockers) - but is actually blocked from downloading at all. This has the effect of speeding up your browsing by avoiding download of junk data.

Imagine you look at your fave news site with all those images! I can only say this hides those images and for the sites that it doesn't work so well on, then you can turn it off. easy.

Zusammen mit der Cookie App vom selben Entwickler ermöglicht Minim einen perfekt ausdifferenzierten automatisierten Schutz vor nahezu allen technischen Varianten des Trackings und Profilings – und zwar BEVOR die betreffenden Elemente überhaupt erst geladen werden. Während macOS und Safari nur generelle oder Domain-spezifische Einstellungen anbieten, kann Minim für jede Subdomain jeweils viele Code-Bestandteile einzeln verbieten bzw. erlauben. Alles kann importiert, exportiert oder via iCloud…

Gets the job done

It's the only blocker with enought control over 3rd party elements that compared to what uBlock Origin or uMartrix does for Chromium browsers. Sadly, the Safari limitations means you cannot individually select 3rd party domains to be blocked. Also, some features like the ability to add a domain to the blocklist before connecting to the website (manually edit the list beforehand) would be nice.

Works great!

I was looking for an extension that would allow me to block annoying videos that would automatically play in the background on news sites but I didn’t want to go through the hassle of having to whitelist all the websites where I don’t want videos and images to be blocked. What makes this extension great is that you can choose to use the blacklist feature instead of the whitelist feature by unchecking “Block all sites except those on whitelist” in the preferences of the app. It’s exactly what…
