In my view, professionals and skilled aficionados are using it.

The biggest shock to new users is how many connections (outside websites) that a link is accessing.

Second, the user interface is intrusive because there are a LOT of connections.

I recommend more Mac users in DU use it. Cost is not free however after the trial period.

New users can click temporary blocking.

It can be switched off easily but then … of course, its not in use.

A decent “hosts.txt” file will save a lot of Snitch popups.
