About:
GlimmerBlocker is a macOS system-level HTTP proxy that filters and blocks unwanted web content before it reaches your browser. It operates independently of browser extensions, providing ad blocking, privacy protection, and content filtering across all browsers on your system. Its main value is system-wide protection without browser-specific plugins.
Key Features:
  • System-wide HTTP proxy filtering
  • Cross-browser compatibility
  • Customizable filter rules
  • Privacy protection from tracking
  • Parental controls and content filtering
Use Cases:
  • Blocking ads and trackers across all browsers
  • Improving browsing privacy and security
  • Implementing parental controls for web content
  • Reducing bandwidth usage by blocking unwanted content
Alternatives:
  • AdGuard – Commercial solution with similar system-wide filtering but subscription-based
  • Little Snitch – Focuses on network traffic monitoring and firewall control rather than content filtering
