Sideloading would frankly make more sense to me. As it is, there are so many "gotchas" that I wouldn't be inclined to daily-drive this, especially since my Macbook sits in my drawer collecting dust. Plus, a lot of these security concerns aren't just minor whoopsies: adding lines to my sudoers file? That's not a practice that should be normalized for something like this. You're shaving an awful lot of yak for something that should have a more streamlined approach in the first place. If Safari causes you issues, I have no idea why you'd kowtow to a single browser with a fraction of the desktop browsing market share, throwing the rest of the options by the wayside. Maybe I'm coming at this from a different point of view, but you're cutting an awful lot of people out just to get an MVP that works for you. Hopefully some day Incog gets a more agnostic, safe implimentation.

Yeah that's totally fair & we try to be pretty upfront about the issues (FAQ + forum). There's definitely a lot of bubblegum and duct-tape on this at the moment - been putting a lot of work in to fix the bigger issues ASAP (been modeling a lot off the AdGuard approach / targeting parity).

Really making the longer-term bet here that with a lot of work, the underlying proxy infrastructure will enable a lot of really interesting possibilities, and the shorter-term bet that with this approach we can create the best / most effective adblocker for paywalls by far.
