I've been using Macs for almost 15 years and I've curated some pretty darn good apps that I rarely see on so many 'Best Mac apps' lists. What Mac users (new and old) need is somebody who actually geeks out about finding good and, occasionally, obscure Mac apps. Thank you, but I don't need an 'expert' to tell me to download Google Chrome or Slack or VLC Player.

Honestly, though, I recommend both of those to everyone, too.I want to ram my head into a wall whenever I see a 'Best Mac apps' list because the app recommendations are almost always obvious ones. * The one and only catch: Hush requires MacOS 11 Big Sur and iOS 14 or later.

I’d recommend Hush to anyone who uses Safari, and I thank Arvidsson for making it. And it’s super-simple: just download from the App Store and enable it in Safari’s preferences on Mac or Settings → Safari → Content Blockers on iOS. It’s also completely private - everything Hush does, it does on your device and it doesn’t ask for permission to see what you’re doing on the web. Hush is free of charge, open source, specifically written for Safari (using SwiftUI), and it is very small and lightweight. Hush is a throwback to the days when good clever people made good clever things, polished them to perfection simply because they care, and just shared them with the world. I’ve been running it for days and it’s the sort of thing you don’t notice at all until you disable it and all of a sudden you’re back to approving cookie access every single goddamn time you load an article at The Guardian and squinting to find the hidden “X” that closes a popover asking if you’ll sign up for something you don’t want and never asked for. It kills dickbars and dickbar-like annoyances. It targets those insipid, never-ending, utterly pointless “cookie notices”, popovers begging you to join email newsletters, and other bits of tracking. Lovely new Safari content blocking extension for Safari (iOS and Mac) by Joel Arvidsson.
