Great to know that we have the option to use uBOL on Safari. uBO is arguably the best adblocker on Firefox (and on Chromium browsers still on manifest v2.)

Not to be a downer, but why should I use this over existing well performing content blockers like Wipr 2 or Adguard? But yes, I get it more the options for us users the merrier!

One of the better install and forget it content blocker. The cherry on the top of the cake is that the developer is pretty responsive too.

For iOS and iPadOS, I use Adguard Premium(they offer system wide blocking too). On Mac, Adguard for Safari is good enough. It’s the best possible option given Safari’s limitations if you want to stick with Safari. For most intents and purposes it works ‘almost’ as well as ublock origin on Firefox. 1Password and Wipr does a good job too.
