Issue Details

AdGuard Safari Extension for Mac

The AdGuard Safari extension for Mac does not need to run continuously in the background or the menu bar.

Unlike the AdGuard for macOS application, which operates independently, the Safari content blocker only needs to activate briefly once a month to update its filters before closing.

Proposed Solution

Run the extension periodically in the background to update its filters/content blockers, then quit. This approach saves resources.

Alternative Solution

Run the extension periodically in the background to update its filters/content blockers, then quit. This approach saves resources.

@bigplayer-ai Hello! Thanks, we'll think about it!

BTW, I uninstalled Adguard for macOS because it is incompatible with iCloud Private Relay. I was disappointed to see this issue marked as closed on the Adguard for macOS repository, but I hope a solution will be available in the future.
