Hi folks,
I have spent the best part of the weekend researching, downloading and activating security apps. for my 2020 iPad Pro 11 and iPhone XR both running iOS 15.3.1. In addition, I have read and reread lots of advice and tips on tweaking Safari’s settings to maximise its inbuilt security capabilities. I’m pretty happy with the results..
The problem is testing how effective these mods. have been! There seem to be a small number of websites that offer the chance to run browser security checks. I have run 5 with varying levels of success. However, two tests in particular returned the result “ad blocking not present” even though I had paid for premium apps. from AdGuard and Wipr installed and enabled as Safari extensions(not at the same time of course). Both report ‘active’ when self analysing.
Can anyone throw any light on either why this is happening or suggest any browser security checking options?
(also running ExpressVPN 11.38.1 paid).
Cheers.
