## What it is
Hush is a free, open-source Safari content blocker for iOS and macOS that blocks cookie consent banners and privacy-invasive tracking scripts. It works purely via native Safari content blocker rules, with no access to browsing habits and no data collection.

## Use cases
- block cookie consent popups in Safari
- stop websites from nagging me to accept cookies
- block privacy-invasive tracking scripts on iPhone
- get rid of cookie banners on Mac Safari
- private Safari content blocker with no tracking
- silence push notification and newsletter prompts in Safari

## When to choose
- you use Safari on iOS or macOS and want cookie banners and tracking blocked
- you want a tiny, zero-configuration, fully private blocker
- you prefer open-source software that doesn't collect any data

## When to avoid
- you want general ad blocking - Hush deliberately doesn't block ads
- you use Chrome, Firefox, or another non-Safari browser
- you need a blocker that auto-accepts or auto-denies cookie consent on your behalf
