[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1903720, member: 38864"] There are lots of ad blockers. Some are a bit sketchy. I already mentioned that AdGuard for Mac and Ghostery are the only two I'd personally trust, although if uBlock Origin was available for Safari, I'd add that. Others here have their favorites. As for an additional firewall.. why? I responded yesterday to that discussion with links for your reading pleasure. I'm not repeating myself. I don't know that any of us use a firewall. There's no good reason for someone sitting at home on a router to use one. If you aren't at home, well you had best be on a good VPN. If you have a specific use case scenario, that's another thing (running a server, for example). If you are simply bringing old habits from the Windows world... well it's time to rethink your thinking and needs. That said, if you simply MUST have one, look at Murus and their related products. If you want to keep an eye on all internet traffic from every app, look into Little Snitch. [/QUOTE]
