The first day of using Little Snitch may drive you insane. It gets better rapidly after.

How does it work with browsers? You have to allow all outgoing traffic to port 80/443 regardless of host/ip? Or be asked every time you visit a different website if you want to allow it or not?

IIRC the default ruleset allows browsers to make any connections on 80/443. You could delete that rule and do it on a case-by-case basis, but it'd be painful.

There are probably browser extensions better suited to restricting browser connections. Maybe run LS on top of one of those so the browser can catch most of them witout making a ton of popups.

Makes sense. Thanks!
