The Shield icon in the address field shows what was blocked on the page, by kind, and whether a cookie banner was closed.
Shield is Satori’s blocker for ads and trackers. It is on by default. It also stops scripts that do nothing for the reader, such as session recording and A/B tests, and it holds an embedded YouTube player until you press play. Satori answers cookie banners with a no, except on the sites you exempt.
On any page with a site, the Shield icon sits in the address field, left of the address. Open it to see what was blocked on this page, by kind, and whether a cookie banner was closed.
The panel also shows an estimate of what blocking saved. It is labeled as an estimate. A blocked request is never downloaded, so its size is a typical figure for each kind. Totals since a date are kept on this Mac, and Reset totals can be undone.
An empty tab shows a globe in the same place. To hide the icon, right-click it, or turn off Show Shield in the address field in Settings › Privacy & Security.
Pausing Shield for a site covers the whole site, so pausing example.com pauses www.example.com too. More on what stays and what leaves is on the Privacy page.
Satori is small, fast, and quiet, with one field for addresses and searches.
Download Satori for Mac.
Satori is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. macOS may ask you to confirm the first time you open it, but there is no malware or unidentified-developer warning. Updates arrive on their own through Sparkle.
