Does Safari block Google Analytics?

Published on Jun 4, 2022 and edited on Jan 3, 2024 by Iron Brands

In June 2020, Apple launched a new 'Privacy Report' during their first digital WWDC event . This included new privacy guidelines and a summary of trackers blocked by Safari (an Apple product) on iOS, Big Sur, and iPadOS.

The new features caused some confusion among the attendants. From the presentation, it seemed that Safari blocked Google Analytics by default. However, the truth is a bit more nuanced.

So what was the fuss all about again, and what privacy updates have been implemented since? We’ll also touch upon the impact future privacy updates will have on the usability of tools like Google Analytics. What is the likelihood that Safari will ever block Google Analytics?

Let's dive in!

Safari does not block Google Analytics by default - just third-party cookies

Move towards privacy, phasing out of third-party cookies, google analytics creates a blind spot, there are google analytics alternatives out there, google analytics is a privacy nightmare, data transfers are still an issue, final thoughts.

With the "Privacy Report," Apple added many new privacy features to help protect users from being tracked across the internet. In the presentation, Apple showed that Google Analytics was the most frequently blocked tracker. This made everyone assume that Safari is blocking Google Analytics from tracking website visitors by default. However, this was a false assumption, and the truth is a bit more complicated.

This was the screenshot shown during the event. Google Analytics is marked as a prevented tracker in the picture, which caused the confusion.

The first to react was analyst Simo Ahava who explained what was really going on:

"When the Safari screenshot from #WWDC says it prevents " http://google-analytics.com ..." it likely means ITP flagged that domain as a cross-site tracker and restricts its access to third-party storage. NOT that it actually "blocks GA."

As more information surfaced, it became clear that Safari was not blocking Google Analytics but rather its third-party cookies.

• First-party cookies are stored by the domain (website) you visit.
• Third-party cookies are created by domains other than the one you visit directly, hence the name third-party.

If you want to freshen up your mind regarding first-party vs. third-party cookies, check our "cookie article." 

The Intelligent Tracking Prevention in Safari 14 blocks cross-site tracking, limiting only portions in Google Analytics. Website owners should have no trouble seeing their website analytics, as it relies on first-party cookies. Google Analytics still functions as an analytics platform, but you can't use it for retargeting and other features that rely on cross-website tracking.

So Safari does not block Google Analytics, but Apple's "Privacy Report" did accelerate a privacy trend that is not stopping anytime soon.

In the past year, we've seen a crackdown on government bodies on the use of Google Analytics. Privacy laws like GDPR, PECR & CCPA are getting stronger by the day, and organizations seem to care more and more about running their business ethically.

In addition, Apple is moving forward with its privacy operations. They recently added the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature in their iOS15, which runs on 72% of modern iPhones. 

The ATT consists of a pop-up that asks users if they want to be tracked when they open the app. Facebook announced that this new feature will cost them 10 billion in ad revenue this year alone.

Next to that, Apple launched a commercial showing a girl whose digital identity and belongings are sold off by an auctioneer. At the time of writing, it's 16 days old and already has 7,7 million views on Youtube.

Obviously, the video has some marketing angle to it. Still, the fact that the biggest company in the world has its marketing focus on privacy shows the importance and relevancy of digital privacy.

Why you should move away from Google Analytics

As mentioned above, Safari does not block Google Analytics. You can still still see your website analytics. However, the privacy trend is not slowing down, and Google is just not moving with it.

Google Analytics users were recently forced to move from Universal Analytics 4 to Google Analytics 4. This move is forcing them to do quite a bit of re-learning on the new version and its different metrics. Additionally, it forced them to ditch third-party cookies, as Google Analytics 4 does not support them.

Universal Analytics 360 users have one more year before the switch, but their time is going to come. Where you are still using Universal Analytics 360, or trying to grasp the new version, this is a good time to ditch Google Analytics and move to a more privacy-friendly service.

Although Google Analytics is the most powerful analytics tool there is, it will become more and more inaccurate. Internet users demand privacy, not by knocking on your door and asking for it, but by using tools that block Google Analytics. More and more internet users use ad-blockers or plugins that block Google Analytics scripts.

In addition, privacy laws have agreed that every website that uses cookies should display a cookie banner. When more and more website visitors disagree with your cookie setting, you will miss them in your Google Analytics data.

Organizations have taken so long to become more privacy-friendly because of the lack of privacy-friendly tools that are as good as non-privacy-friendly ones. You might want to check other tools if you just use Google Analytics to get insights on your website statistics. There are alternatives to Google Analytics that are simpler to use with more straightforward dashboards that don't sell your visitor data to third parties.

You might have heard that Google Analytics is an invasive service. That's an understatement.

The core of Google's business model is hoarding personal data from its countless services and feeding it to the online advertising environment (which it controls for the most part). The heart of online advertisement is the real-time bidding (RTB) system through which advertising spaces are auctioned and sold in real time. In order to make these bids as economically efficient as possible, lots of personal data from each visitor are disclosed to the hundreds of advertising companies taking part in the auction.

This is worse than selling data. Google is selling advertising spaces and disclosing immense amounts of personal data on the side, to companies over which it has no control. In other words, it's a privacy nightmare, and it is deeply embedded in the company's business model. No amounts of small tweaks to Google Analytics' privacy settings can fix that.

We wrote a lot about Google Analytics' issues with data transfers under the GDPR and about how those issues led six EU countries to ban Google Analytics .

The long legal saga of data transfers came to a halt because of the new EU-US data transfer framework, but this stability is only temporary. Privacy advocates have already announced that they will challenge the new framework, and there is a very real chance that they will succeed in shooting it down like they did in the Schrems I and II.

Incidentally, Microsoft is pouring billions into its EU Data Boundary Program - which may or may not have something to do with the fact that it expects companies to flock to its servers as soon as the new data transfer framework is invalidated by the Court of Justice.

Bottom line, we will likely all be back to square one soon.

Digital privacy is becoming increasingly important in our lives, and organizations have started recognizing this. Apple has made privacy one of its future core pillars. Its privacy features are hurting ad platforms like Google and Facebook and making their tools, such as Google Analytics, less powerful. We feel that privacy is a fundamental human right.

Also, more and more people are rightfully concerned about their privacy on the internet and are taking matters into their own hands by switching to privacy-centric apps or browsers.

Data protection authorities are also showing their teeth by declaring the use of Google Analytics unlawful in Italy , Denmark , France & Austria. More EU member states are likely to follow in the coming months, as this was a coordinated effort on a European level.

In addition to the above, we feel that privacy is a fundamental human right, so we created Simple Analytics.

Simple Analytics is not impacted by privacy updates, like the one mentioned above by Apple; it only strengthens our case. We are cookieless by design and never collect any personal data.

We are EU-based. Fully GDPR compliant, and the data we collect is yours. YWe believe in creating an independent internet that is friendly to website visitors. If this resonates with you, feel free to give us a try .

GA4 is complex. Try Simple Analytics

Safari now blocks Google Analytics on sites, new Privacy Report feature shows [u]

The new Intelligent Tracking Prevention page in Safari for macOS Big Sur.

At its WWDC 2020 keynote on Monday, Apple announced a suite of new privacy features in the macOS Big Sur version of Safari that included a new Privacy Report showing which trackers are blocked on a site.

As technology analyst Benedict Evans pointed out in a tweet, that Privacy Report indicates that Apple's Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention 2.0 is now officially blocking Google Analytics.

Yes, Apple is now blocking Google Analytics entirely, even with anonymised IP. pic.twitter.com/Ypnk5T4VAn — Benedict Evans (@benedictevans) June 22, 2020

It isn't clear if anything in Safari for macOS Big Sur is specifically blocking Google Analytics, or if the new Privacy Report is just showing that it has been. Apple's features macOS page doesn't offer any clarity.

Google Analytics is one of the most popular web tracking and analysis services used by millions of popular websites.

The Privacy Report and blocking of Google Analytics are just two parts of a broader push toward privacy by Apple. According to a report from December 2019, Apple's Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention feature has resulted in a 60% decrease in pricing for targeted Safari ads.

Update: As more information has surfaced, it appears that Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) in Safari 14 is not completely blocking Google Analytics. Instead, it's blocking third-party tracking cookies and cross-site scripting requests on Google Analytics from loading. The Privacy Report feature just reflects that. It looks like first-party Google Analytics cookies aren't blocked, so it'll still function as an analytics platform.

How to change safari's default search engine on mac.

Prefer DuckDuckGo? Or something else? Switching is easy.

Quick Links

Changing search engine in safari preferences, using other search engines with safari, duckduckgo is your best choice.

Safari is a solid browser for most Mac users. It's fast, energy-efficient , plays nicely with the iPhone and iPad , and more. If you're not happy with the default search engine , though, changing it takes only a few clicks. Related: How to Change the Default Search Engine in Safari on iPhone or iPad

To change Safari's default search engine, launch the Safari app on your Mac and click on "Safari" in the top-left corner of the screen and select "Preferences" from the list that appears:

A new window will appear. Click on the "Search" button to switch to the search engine preferences:

Click on the drop-down arrow to select a search engine of your choice. You'll be able to choose from Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Bing , and Ecosia :

Once you've chosen your desired search engine you can close the preferences panel. From now on, all searches you conduct from the address bar will use the search engine specified in Safari's preferences.

There's currently no way of adding more search engines to Safari, which means if you want to use another search provider by default, you'll need to use an alternative browser like Chrome or Firefox.

Fortunately, you can use one clever workaround to search the web with different search engines directly from the Safari URL bar. To do this you'll need to use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine, so follow the steps above to change to this default search engine in Safari's preferences.

DuckDuckGo supports a range of additional operators called "bangs" which are primarily designed to limit your search to a particular website . For example, if you search "change Safari search engine !htg" in DuckDuckGo, you'll trigger the How-To Geek bang (!htg) which will search this website specifically, using our choice of search provider (which happens to be Google).

You can do this for a range of services like YouTube (!yt), Wikipedia (!w), and Twitter (!twitter). You can also use it to search Google (!g), Google Images (!gimg), and Gmail (!gmail) without having to rely on Google as your primary search engine. Remember that you don't get DuckDuckGo's enhanced privacy when using these bangs since the search engine merely hands your request to a third-party search instead.

Bangs include other search providers like Bing (!bing) and Ecosia (!eco). Head to the DuckDuckGo Bangs Repository  and search for your desired search engine, then add the bang to each search.

Not only is DuckDuckGo the best default Safari search engine from a privacy perspective, but you can also always switch to Google and get more in-depth results by adding a "!g" bang to your search. Searching with DuckDuckGo soon becomes second nature, especially when you've remembered which bangs to use for your favorite websites and search engines.

You can also use DuckDuckGo for media, maps, news, and directions .

Is Safari Blocking Google Analytics in iOS14 & Big Sur? Everything You Need To Know

Analytics Consultant

It’s beta testing season and as a self-confessed tech addict, I am one of those people who install betas on my daily drivers and just accept the inevitable issues that come along with it. With the launch of the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Big Sur, Apple launched lots of new privacy features to help better protect users from being tracked across the internet. Built into Safari across all three platforms, they launched a new ‘Privacy Report’ which provides a summary of the number of trackers blocked, and the most common, which on my device is currently Google Analytics. So, is Safari blocking Google Analytics? And what does that mean for your SEO campaign reporting?

As the news hit the marketing websites, a flurry of panic spread across social media and digital marketing group chats as marketers realised that if Safari blocked Google Analytics from working, we were set to lose a substantial amount of data which is essential for reporting and showing campaign ROI. Installed on over half of the websites across the internet , it’s the number one analytics platform by a considerable margin and the impact of that data loss extends far beyond agencies.

In 3 weeks since the launch of the first beta and the day it was installed on my iPhone, Safari has ‘blocked’ Google Analytics on 365 websites. What wasn’t initially clear though was that this actually meant. Many, myself included, presumed that this was a full block, similar to how other more traditional ad blockers are known to work; simply stop the resource from loading altogether. But this isn’t actually the case.

So Safari Isn’t Blocking Google Analytics?

Not exactly, Google Analytics as it’s own entity functions as you need it to – it’s feeding data back to the platform on how users are interacting with the website. Using ITP ( Intelligent Tracking Prevention 2.0 ) What Safari is preventing it from doing is loading third-party scripts. ITP is more advanced than you’re average ad blocker and it’s designed more to prevent cross-website tracking, the type that follows you around the internet and builds a profile out of your browsing habits which are then used to target you with laser-targeted ads.

Simon Hava explains it perfectly :

“When Safari says it blocks or prevents a tracker, what it means is that the ITP algorithm has flagged some domain as having cross-site tracking capabilities, and Safari has, among other things, stripped it of its capabilities to carry cookies in cross-site requests, also known as third-party cookies.”

I think perhaps Apple could have used different language to explain the feature as words like ‘block’ do suggest that it was being blocked entirely.

So, will Safari be blocking Google Analytics? The simple answer is no. Apple is really pushing on the privacy protection features, but for the time being, your favourite analytics platform is safe. Traditional ad blockers have long been around and causing headaches for marketers, developers and website owners, but Apple isn’t cutting off advertising revenue, it’s making sure you’re not abusing data. In the long run, ITP may be the saviour of online advertising as it allows people to be served ads which can to some extent be tailored but protect the user’s data and privacy at the same time whilst cutting off third-party cross-website tracking.

How to block websites on iPhone and iPad — keep your kids safe in iOS 17

Here's how to block websites on iPhone.

• Limit adult content in Safari
• Block specific websites in Safari
• Block everything except specific sites in Safari

One of the best parental control features Apple offers on iPhone and iPad is the ability to block websites on Safari. Using these controls within Safari can be a helpful way to restrict access to adult content such as porn or gambling.

On iPhone and iPad there are three different ways you can block websites to control the type of content you or a family member can access while surfing the web. Firstly, you can simply blanket ban adult content. Secondly, you can add specific websites to this general ban if any domains are slipping through the cracks. Finally, you can take a much tougher approach and ban all websites except the specific ones you've allowed. We'll show you how to do all three in this guide. Here's how to block websites on iPhone and iPad in Safari on iOS 17.  

How to limit adult content in Safari for iPhone and iPad

The first and easiest way to block websites in Safari is simply to turn on the "limit adult content" setting in Apple's Screen Time settings. This will create a blanket ban on websites generally considered to be adult, including porn and gambling, and requires the least effort. Here's how to do it:

• Launch Settings from the home screen
• Choose Screen Time
• Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions

• Toggle Content and Privacy Restrictions
• Select Content Restrictions
• Tap Web Content
• Choose Limit Adult Websites

How to block specific websites in Safari for iPhone and iPad

If limiting adult content isn't enough, or you happen to notice a URL that has slipped through the cracks, you can always block any URL you want with restrictions. The steps are very similar:

• Toggle Content & Privacy Restrictions
• Tap Add a Website under NEVER ALLOW
• Type the URL of the website you wish to block in the Website field
• Select Back at the top left

Repeat this process for each site you'd like to block. Keep in mind that if certain websites have mobile sites , you may need to block them separately. If you find a site that's still getting through after you attempt to block it, visit that site and look in the Address Bar of Safari to make sure you're blocking the correct URL. Copy it if you need to and paste it into the field.

How to block everything and whitelist only specific sites in Safari for iPhone and iPad

For very young children, or if you simply want to make sure nothing is accessible except what you specifically allow, you can disable everything and then only turn back on the sites you consider permissible, like Apple or Disney.

• Choose Allowed Websites . This setting means only the websites you add are allowed to come through, and everything else is blocked

• Tap Add Website
• Add Title and URL for a custom website that you wish to add to your allow list
• Choose Back

Keep unwanted content off your kids' devices

So there you have three different ways to block websites on iPhone. Each one is progressively more comprehensive, and as such requires slightly more steps each time. As mentioned, we would generally recommend starting with the general "limit adult websites," before progressing to more specific URL blocking if you want stronger controls. The "allowed websites" setting we'd generally recommend the most for devices used by young children.

Alternative browsers report uplift after EU’s DMA choice screen mandate

A flagship European Union digital market regulation appears to be shaking up competition in the mobile browser market.

It’s been a little over a month since the Digital Markets Act (DMA) came into application and there are early signs it’s having an impact by forcing phone makers to show browser choice screens to users.

On Wednesday, Reuters reported growth data shared by Cyprus-based web browser Aloha and others that it said suggests the new law is stirring the competitive pot and helping smaller browser makers gain share or at least grab more attention than they were.

But it’s early days for DMA implementation, with choice screen rollouts still a work in progress, and many EU users haven’t even seen one yet. While Aloha is not the only other browser reporting a boost in interest since the DMA compliance deadline kicked in on March 7 — Brave, Opera and Vivaldi also shared positive stories of increased interest — several others, including DuckDuckGo and Firefox, told us it’s too soon for them to be able to assess the regulation’s effect.

TechCrunch reached out to 16 alternative browser makers with questions, as well as Apple and Google, to inform our reporting. We also contacted the European Commission to ask about its own tracking of the DMA’s impact in this area — but it declined to share any data.

Neither Apple nor Google responded to questions asking about any changes in regional usage of their own browsers since the choice screens began being shown to mobile users.

Opting for choice screens

The EU’s goal for the DMA is to boost competition against internet “gatekeepers” whose control of dominant platforms gives them many operational advantages over smaller rivals. The regulation does this through a list of “dos and don’ts” that tech giants must comply with. In the case of browsers, it obliges the likes of iOS maker Apple and Google’s Android to display browser choice screens — forcing them to point users to alternatives to Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome.

Choice screens are intended to work against platform dominance and self-serving defaults by alerting consumers there are other options. But users do still need to decide to switch to an alternative app in order for choice screens to boost competition. The design of screens is also important.

Some alternative browser makers remain concerned the design of choice screens isn’t where it needs to be. We suspect this is leading to reluctance by some underdogs to share data on early impact, especially as the EU is currently investigating Apple’s choice screen design for suspected noncompliance .

In other words, some browser makers may be playing a waiting game in the hopes of encouraging Commission enforcers to push for a stronger implementation. At the same time, some really small browser players may see more gains to be had from good old-fashioned publicity — for example, sending out a press release trumpeting early interest — as a tactic to raise their profile to try to drive more downloads through increased awareness.

Overall, it’s still very early. Many regional mobile users may not have even seen a choice screen appear on their handset yet. Google, for instance, says screens are being displayed on newly launched Android devices but for existing Android handsets it’s up to the makers of the devices to push out the choice screens to their users. So there isn’t a clear implementation timeline on Android.

While in the case of iOS, Apple says it’s been displaying choice screens to users of iOS since iOS 17.4. But users who haven’t updated to this version also won’t have seen any yet.

Mozilla, maker of the Firefox browser, told us it estimates that less than a fifth of iOS users have been shown a choice screen so far. It reckons even fewer Android users have seen one in the wild as yet.

With this patchy Android rollout picture in mind, it seems likely that more iOS users will have seen choice screens than Android users so far — even though Google’s platform has a larger regional market share.

Measuring the impact of the DMA on alternative browsers’ market share is further complicated by variations in the apps that mobile users see in different EU countries. Some alternatives, such as Firefox, can appear on the iOS choice screen in every EU market. Whereas others are far more limited: Vivaldi, for example, can only appear in eight countries. So exposure to potential users can vary substantially depending on the browser. (Apple lists the options it’s currently showing in each market here .)

Alt browsers on the up?

Aloha , a browser that focuses on privacy and claims not to track users, told us it’s seen 250% growth in new users (i.e., app downloads) since the DMA came into effect last month. It reports having approximately 10 million active monthly users globally — and estimates that around 1 million of those are located in the EU. So it remains a very small player.

However, since Aloha says it does not collect any personal data, including location data, it told us it cannot be precise about where its users are located. Yet it told Reuters the EU had moved up from being its fourth largest market to its second largest since the DMA compliance deadline kicked in.

Aloha also claimed to have seen an uptick in users in the U.S. since the DMA came into effect — yet the regulation does not apply in the U.S. market so U.S. users aren’t encountering it via browser choice screens. Aloha told TechCrunch it believes privacy awareness is rising generally, but also suggested growth in new installs in the EU may be helping to raise its position in the U.S. App Store.

Norway-based Opera , meanwhile, is also claiming market share gains since the DMA started to bite on March 7. Per new metrics shared with TechCrunch Wednesday, Opera said new user growth from February to the end of March was 63% — so it’s reporting a substantial uptick in people downloading Opera and giving it a try.

It is also reporting a 39% growth in users on iOS selecting its browser as their default specifically, from March 3 until April 4.

Previously (as of March 18), Opera reported 164% growth in the inflow of new EU users on iOS after the deadline for Apple to implement the DMA-enforced choice screen. So there actually appears to have been a drop in the growth rate it’s seen over this period — that is, after a bigger initial spike of interest.

Regardless, Opera is sounding very happy with the extra level of interest it’s seeing. In a statement, Jørgen Arnesen, its EVP of mobile, said the DMA “is working to even the playing field,” adding: “We’re excited to see that it has become easier for users to express their browser choice and for that choice to be respected.”

Another browser maker with a positive experience since DMA compliance day is Vivaldi , which is also developed out of Norway.

It told TechCrunch it’s seen an increase of 36.7% in downloads in the EU (in total) since the iOS choice screen came into effect. But the boost in downloads is even bigger when you look at the eight markets where Vivaldi is actually being shown on iOS choice screens. In those markets it said downloads have increased 69.6% since the choice screen started being pushed at users.

Despite this uptick in downloads, Vivaldi is unhappy with the current design of Apple’s choice screen.

“There are significant flaws with its implementation, including when it is shown and what is shown,” a company spokesperson told us. “Users can only see the choice screen when they click Safari. The list of browsers does not show additional information and that does not help users to make a meaningful choice. If the user has already selected a browser of their own choice, the choice screen can actively try to push them away from it, and may not even include it in the list that it presents to the user.”

“We think the priority should be given to cross-platform browsers, so that the same browser can be used on all of the user’s devices,” she added. “Apple looks at it very narrowly, per platform and country. We believe the main browser choices should be visible and we are not. And we should be on the list for all countries.”

We also heard positive things from Brave . The U.S.-based privacy-focused browser said it’s seen “a significant uptick” in installs since the DMA came into effect. (Although it does not report users per region so declined to break out total usage figures for the EU.)

“The daily installs for Brave on iOS in the EU went from around 7,500 to 11,000 with the new browser panel this past March,” per a company spokesperson. “In the past few days, we have seen a new all time high spike of 14,000 daily installs, nearly doubling our pre-choice screen numbers.”

On the flip side, three other alternative browsers that we contacted — DuckDuckGo, Ecosia and Firefox — suggested it’s too early to tell whether the DMA is helping them.

Veteran privacy-focused browser maker DuckDuckGo declined to share any data, saying it’s too soon to draw meaningful conclusions.

“While we’ve seen some positive signs, the choice screen rollout is ongoing and for a competitor like us that sees billions of searches and millions of downloads a month, we need more time to make an accurate impact assessment at scale,” it said in a statement.

DuckDuckGo also told us it lacks access to “key information” to be able to assess the DMA’s impact, saying, for example, that it has no way of knowing how many people have seen a search engine or browser choice screen.

“This is key because it would help us understand our selection rate on a choice screen and how widespread the rollout has been,” it noted, adding: “We’re at the beginning of this journey, not the end.”

Another alt player, the not-for-profit, tree-planting and eco-action focused Ecosia , also told us it doesn’t have enough data to make an accurate assessment of the regulation’s impact. “We have not received selection rates or any other meaningful datasets, so it is hard for us to solidly report on the effectiveness of the choice screen at this stage,” said Sophie Dembinski, its head of public policy and climate action.

She emphasized Ecosia isn’t happy with the current iOS choice screen, which it believes is hampering potential growth — also pointing to the Commission’s open case investigating Apple’s implementation.

“While Ecosia has jumped to second and third position in some European markets for utility apps in the Apple App Store, our search numbers have barely changed,” she said. “This is due to several design issues within Apple’s choice screen — such as showing the choice screen to users who have already selected an alternative choice to Safari; an overly complex installation process which loses a large number of users; and keeping the Safari browser app in the best position on the home screen.”

Another veteran browser player, Firefox , is also keeping its powder dry when it comes to assessing early impact.

“We are not currently sharing absolute numbers, both because we have some serious concerns about the current choice screens and because we estimate that less than 20% of users on iOS and likely less on Google have been exposed to them thus far,” said Mozilla’s Kush Amlani, global competition and regulatory counsel.

“The DMA represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create competition and choice for EU consumers. Whether that potential is realized depends on the gatekeepers’ compliance and the European Commission’s enforcement,” he emphasized, also referencing the Commission’s probes into suspected gatekeeper non-compliance .

“While we’re seeing many thousands of people select Firefox on the choice screens, we don’t think this should distract from the fact that the iOS choice screen has significant flaws that block people from making genuine choices,” Amlani added. “The critical challenge is that powerful and deep-pocketed gatekeepers are incentivized to protect their existing closed ecosystems and fight the implementation of the DMA, which will open them up to competition.”

TechCrunch’s outreach to browser makers that may benefit from the DMA choice screens also yielded one report of no meaningful impact since the requirement kicked in: Yandex , a Russia-based browser that can appear on the iOS choice screen anywhere in the EU, told us it hasn’t seen “any meaningful changes in the user metrics in the region so far.”

In Yandex’s case, its possible disinterest in switching could be linked to consumer concerns about using or supporting software that’s developed in Russia in light of the Ukraine war.

Pop-Up-Werbung und Einblendfenster in Safari blockieren

Hier erfährst du, wie du auf deinem iPhone, iPad oder Mac Einblendfenster blockierst und mit dauerhafter Werbung umgehst.

Bei Pop-Ups bzw. Einblendungen kann es sich um Werbung, Mitteilungen, Angebote oder Warnungen handeln, die in deinem aktuellen Browserfenster, in einem neuen Fenster oder in einem anderen Tab geöffnet werden. Einige Pop-Ups sind Werbung von Drittanbietern, die dich unter Einsatz von Phishing-Taktiken – wie falsche Warnmeldungen oder Gewinnbenachrichtigungen – zu der Annahme verleiten sollen, dass sie von Apple oder einem anderen vertrauenswürdigen Unternehmen stammen, sodass du persönliche oder finanzielle Informationen preisgibst. In solchen Meldungen werden womöglich auch vermeintlich kostenlose Downloads, Softwareupdates oder Plug-Ins angeboten, um dich dazu zu bringen, unerwünschte Software zu installieren.

Mit diesen Tipps kannst du Pop-Up-Meldungen und störende Unterbrechungen verhindern.

Interaktion mit Pop-Ups vermeiden

Sofern du dir nicht sicher bist, dass es sich um legitime Werbung handelt, solltest du das Interagieren mit Pop-Ups oder Webseiten vermeiden, die auf deinem Bildschirm eingeblendet werden.

Wenn dir in Safari eine störende Pop-Up-Werbung angezeigt wird, kannst du eine neue URL oder einen Suchbegriff in das Suchfeld eingeben, um zu einer neuen Website zu wechseln. Wenn du das Suchfeld auf deinem iPhone oder iPad nicht siehst, tippe oben auf das Display, um es anzuzeigen.

Einige Pop-Ups und Werbeanzeigen enthalten gefälschte Tasten, die einer Schließen-Taste ähneln. Sei daher vorsichtig, wenn du versuchst, ein Pop-Up oder eine Werbeanzeige zu schließen. Wenn du dir nicht sicher bist, solltest du nicht damit interagieren und stattdessen das Safari-Fenster oder den Tab schließen.

Du kannst auf deinem Mac Safari beenden und dann die Umschalttaste gedrückt halten, während du Safari öffnest. So wird vermieden, dass Safari automatisch wieder Fenster oder Tabs öffnet, die zuvor geöffnet waren.

Software aktualisieren

Installiere immer die neuesten Softwareupdates Viele Softwareversionen enthalten wichtige Sicherheitsupdates und können Verbesserungen zur Steuerung von Pop-Ups bieten.

Der sicherste Ort, um Apps für deinen Mac zu laden, ist der App Store. Wenn du Software benötigst und diese im App Store nicht verfügbar ist, kannst du sie direkt über den Entwickler oder eine andere zuverlässige Quelle anstatt über eine Werbeanzeige oder einen Link beziehen.

Safari-Einstellungen überprüfen

Wähle auf dem iPhone oder iPad „Einstellungen“ > „Safari“ aus.

Aktiviere „Pop-Ups blockieren“.

Aktiviere „Betrugswarnung“.

Öffne Safari auf deinem Mac, und wähle in der Menüleiste „Safari“ > „Einstellungen“ aus.

Auf dem Tab „Websites“ kannst du Optionen konfigurieren, um einige oder alle Pop-Ups zu erlauben oder zu blockieren .

Auf dem Tab „Sicherheit“ kannst du die Einstellung aktivieren, mit der du beim Besuch einer betrügerischen Website gewarnt wirst.

Wenn Adware oder andere unerwünschte Software auf dem Mac installiert ist

Wenn auf deinem Mac Pop-Ups angezeigt werden, die sich nicht entfernen lassen, hast du unter Umständen versehentlich Adware (durch Werbung unterstützte Software) oder andere unerwünschte Software geladen und installiert. Auf bestimmten Download-Websites von Dritten wird möglicherweise unerwünschte Software zusammen mit deiner Software installiert.

Wenn du glaubst, dass Malware oder Adware auf deinem Mac vorhanden ist:

Aktualisiere auf die neueste Version von macOS. Wenn auf deinem Mac bereits die neueste Version ausgeführt wird, führe einen Neustart durch. macOS umfasst ein integriertes Tool, das bekannte Malware beim Neustart entfernt.

Überprüfe im Ordner „Programme“, ob er dir unbekannte Apps enthält. Du kannst diese Apps deinstallieren .

Überprüfe auf dem Tab „Erweiterungen“ in den Safari-Einstellungen, ob du unnötige Erweiterungen installiert hast. Du kannst Erweiterungen deaktivieren .

Wenn auf deinem Mac weiterhin Werbung oder andere unerwünschte Programme angezeigt werden, kontaktiere Apple.

Google One VPN to Shut Down Later This Year

Google One VPN will be discontinued later this year, according to a customer email seen by Android Authority . The service was rolled out for Android in October 2020, before coming to iOS devices and Macs in 2022.

The company told 9to5Google that it is killing the service because "people simply weren't using it." Existing users will be directed to third-party VPN alternatives instead.

Google will continue to offer VPN functionality through its Google Fi cellular service . Google says Pixel users will also still be able to access its VPN features via Pixel settings if they have a Pixel 7 or newer model.

Apple touts major 60% leap in Safari and WebKit performance

Apple’s WebKit team has published a new blog post this week detailing how they’ve made significant upgrades to Safari’s performance over the last several months. The improvements come following the debut of Speedometer 3.0 in March, described as a “major step forward in making the web faster for all.”

Back in March, Apple, Google, and Mozilla teamed up to launch the new Speedometer 3 browser benchmark. The goal of Speedometer 3 is to “create a shared understanding of web performance so that improvements can be made to enhance the user experience.”

The results provided by Speedometer 3 offer more details on how the test “captures and calculates scores, show more detailed results and introduce an even wider variety of workloads.” Apple says:

The introduction of Speedometer 3.0 is a major step forward in making the web faster for all, and allowing Web developers to make websites and web apps that were not previously possible.

Apple’s WebKit team says that it has successfully improved Safari’s Speedometer 3.0 score by ~60% between the release of Safari 17.0 in September and Safari 17.4’s release in March. These improvements, Apple says, mean that developers can build websites and web apps that are faster than ever before:

With all these optimizations and dozens more, we were able to improve the overall Speedometer 3.0 score by ~60% between Safari 17.0 and Safari 17.4. Even though individual progressions were often less than 1%, over time, they all stacked up together to make a big difference. Because some of these optimizations also benefited Speedometer 2.1, Safari 17.4 is also ~13% faster than Safari 17.0 on Speedometer 2.1. We’re thrilled to deliver these performance improvements to our users allowing web developers to build websites and web apps that are more responsive and snappier than ever.

The full blog post has a ton of technical details on the work that has been done to optimize WebKit and Safari for Speedometer 3.0.

Google chrome warning suddenly issued for all windows users.

• Share to Linkedin

If you’re one of Chrome’s billion-plus users on Windows PCs, then another update warning has just been issued to update your browser as soon as you can...

Chrome update now warning issued for Windows users

While Microsoft tries to push its Edge browser, it’s Google’s Chrome that continues to dominate the desktop market, as the default for a billion-plus Windows users. And those users need to ensure Chrome is updated, after the latest warning this week.

Stable channel 123.0.6312.122/.123 includes three fixes for high-risk memory safety vulnerabilities; you might have seen an acknowledgment earlier in the week that all serious Chrome vulnerabilities seen in the wild “started out with a memory corruption vulnerability.” And so no surprises here.

The three vulnerabilities were all found by external researchers, with each receiving a modest $10,000 to $20,000 payout. This is business as usual, not the highly sophisticated zero days that generate bigger headlines and rewards. One of the vulnerabilities is a use after free vulnerability—where freed up memory can still be addressed, the others relate to graphics rendering, one via the GPU.

Apple Issues New Spyware Attack Warning To iPhone Users

Nyt strands hints spangram and answers for friday april 12th, juiced o j simpson once had a hidden camera prank show and made stabbing jokes on it.

These are interesting times for Chrome on the security front. In warning of those expansive memory threats, Google has introduced a beta V8 (JavaScript engine) Sandbox which, it says, should “prevent memory corruption in V8 from spreading within the host process... a necessary step towards memory safety.”

Very welcome. And equally welcome was the news earlier in the month, that Google has found a way to address cookie theft, an increasingly well used means to bypass 2FA by hijacking authorized sessions. My colleague Davey Winder reported on some of the attacks emanating from this vulnerability earlier today.

This is also mainly a Chrome on Windows issue, and the proposed solution is so-called Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC), which means linking those session cookies to a device ID. Stealing the cookies will be pointless, unless you’re lifting the PC at the same time. “DBSC aims to disrupt the cookie theft industry since exfiltrating these cookies will no longer have any value,” Google explains.

It’s only two weeks since Google issued its last critical security fix for Chrome, along with a serious warning that users could be vulnerable to maliciously constructed webpages exploiting (another) memory vulnerability on their PCs

Google has not provided any indication that the latest vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild, but users should still update their browser as soon as it’s available to them—if not already. I always take the view that once such issues are made public, even in a limited fashion, the risks increase. Threat actors know how long some users will take to update their platforms. Don’t be one of them...
