You would think Apple would take the massive opportunity and bake in proper privacy and ad blocking to safari. Wouldn’t hurt their bottom line.
They have pretty good privacy and anti-fingerprinting stuff in Safari, but not ad blocking— although they do have an odd tool for “hiding distracting items“ that can work as an ad hoc ad blocker of sorts. On the other hand, ublock origin light works wonderfully for me. Both on macOS Safari and iOS Safari.
Safari has a few excellent ad blockers but unfortunately they aren’t free. But anyway, 1Blocker and Wipr are both good. I use 1Blocker personally and it’s every bit as good as uBlock.
