# Attractor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Attractor is a web browser for iOS and macOS prioritizing security and aggresive content filtering, and some nifty useful features.
|
||
|

|
## Security Modes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Attractor aggresively filters unwanted web content and prevents arbitrary code execution (JavaScript) by default. I created a special browser for this purpose. Philosophically speaking, I believe the web should primarily be used as a document viewer (as originally intended by [Tim Berners-Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_wide_web)). Interactive web applications are fine, but the *default* mode should be document viewing, which is why this security model exists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Attractor operates in five "security modes":
|
||
|
|
1. **Alpha** (Default) All JavaScript is blocked, as well as web fonts and iframes.
|
||
|
|
2. **Bravo** Only embedded scripts are allowed. This means any JavaScript enclosed in `<script>` tags. Often this is enough to allow form validation to occur without issue.
|
||
|
|
3. **Charlie** Allows external JavaScript, but only from the same security origin. Meaning, if browsing `buzzert.net`, only external scripts from the domain `buzzert.net` (or subdomains) are allowed to execute.
|
||
|
|
4. **Delta** Allows external JavaScript, but only from a curated list of common CDNs.
|
||
|
|
5. **Echo** All scripts are allowed.
|
||
