Protect

Decide which app may go online, and stop the trackers inside the ones you keep.

Per-App Firewall
Switch any app off the internet with one click, in the window or the menu bar. The app keeps running, only its connections stop. Or turn on Quiet Mode and decide later, in one pass.
Tracker ShieldFree + Pro
One switch stops known tracker domains in your apps, not just in one browser. Free blocks the 50 your Mac contacts most, Pro the full list of 300+. In Chrome-based browsers it only works in part, and the Protection Check shows you where.
Safari Shield
A content blocker for Safari that applies NetMute's tracker list inside the browser, which is the one place a network filter cannot reach once iCloud Private Relay is on.
Protection Check
A card in the Overview that names every browser on this Mac, gives each one a state, and runs a real test to find out whether blocking reaches it, instead of restating the setting you already flipped.
Quiet Mode
A third state next to off and ask. Everything keeps running, and NetMute writes down every new connection instead of interrupting you. You decide later, in one pass, under Rules › Backlog.
