Point 0.3.3

Built-in ad blocking. Version 0.3.3, build 41.

Changes

  • Block advertising requests and hide ad banners using WebKit content rules.
  • Enable ad blocking by default in regular and private tabs, including restored tabs and popup windows.
  • Add an Ad blocking toggle in Settings → General. The preference is saved; reload open pages after changing it.
  • Bundle AdGuard Base (including EasyList) and Russian filters with approximately 109,000 compiled rules, original filter sources, and license notices.
  • Wait for the rules before allowing the first web navigation and reuse the compiled rules on later launches.

Current limitations

  • Filters are bundled with the app and do not update automatically.
  • Advanced scriptlets and extended CSS are excluded. Blocking all video ads, including YouTube ads, is not guaranteed.

Installation and verification

  • Requires macOS 26 or later and Apple Silicon. Download Point.dmg and replace the installed application.
  • All 151 automated tests passed, including live WebKit checks for request blocking, banner hiding, normal content loading, and disabling/re-enabling the blocker.
  • The release build, application signature, DMG integrity, packaged version, and bundled filter checksum were verified.
  • Signed with Apple Development, without Developer ID signing or notarization.
