However, as with all computer systems, there are still vulnerabilities and exploits to which you remain at risk.īrowser-based attacks can largely be mitigated by installing a good, trusted, Content and Ad-blocking product. One of the very best and most respected within the Apple App Store - designed for iPad, iPhone and Mac - is 1Blocker for Safari.ġBlocker is highly configurable - and crucially does not rely upon an external proxy-service of dubious provenance. All processing takes place on your device - and contrary to expectations, Safari will run faster and more efficiently. Unwanted content is not simply filtered after download (a technique used by basic/inferior products), but instead undesirable embedded content blocked form download. A further benefit on metered services, such as cellular connections where you data may be capped or chargeable, this not only improves speed but also saves you money. When using a good quality Content blocker, a high proportion of otherwise inescapable risk when using your Safari browser, or linking to external sources from email, is effectively mitigated before it even reaches you. There are additional protections that can enhance protection further, such as using one of the better Recursive DNS Services in preference to automatic settings. I recommend using one of the following services, for which IPv4 ad IPv6 server address are included here: This can either be set on a per-device basis in Settings, or can be set-up on your home Router.
