Safari content blockers don’t get access to the website. They merely present a list of selectors to block, and Safari does the rest. So the lack of source code access is benign, by design.

Content blockers don't have access to websites, but they themselves need to be "hosted" within a native application, right? And that application can potentially do more than just provide a list of rules to Safari.

Along with any other application...on your phone, yet you don't ask for the source code to those?
