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 protected HTTPS connection while interacting with your device. However, some sites or resources which 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 prevents Safari from connecting via HTTP. In other words, the browser will always try to connect via HTTPS if possible.
