Accessing a website is all about loading something from an external server to your device. Currently, it’s a good and common practice for sites to use a protected HTTPS connection while interacting with your device. However, some sites and resources your browser tries to load don’t use it by default, connecting using HTTP. As a result, your data is transmitted via an unsafe connection.
It is better to avoid it, and here is how 1Blocker can help. You can create a rule that makes Safari upgrade a specific HTTP connection to HTTPS if possible.
Note: this filter currently works on a per-site basis only.
