About Maza ad blocking

Maza is a simple, native, and efficient local advertising blocker for macOS and Linux. Instead of running a separate network service like Pi-hole, it works locally using your operating system's own mechanisms to block ads. It is a small open-source shell-based tool that you install from GitHub, suited to individual users who want lightweight ad blocking on a single computer without extra infrastructure.
