Switch to Safari instead if you're on Mac, if you care about privacy and security: https://webkit.org/blog/8943/privacy-preserving-ad-click-attribution-for-the-

  I like Safari, but its extension system is even more restrictive. Something like uBlock Origin cannot be implemented anymore. It's an Apple tradition — if you like what's in the box, great, but you won't be able to customize it much later.

    I was surprised to see your comment, in Safari, directly below the uBlock Origin icon. It seems to be working fine for me. Do you have more details on what you mean?

      Legacy Safari extensions will no longer be supported. Scroll down to "Safari Extensions". https://webkit.org/blog/8825/release-notes-for-safari-technology-preview-80/ https://webkit.org/blog/8825/release-notes-for-safari-techno...

  And if you want more broken websites, sure. Safari is the new IE when it comes to bugs and standards compliance. Here's an example that broke many many sites that use OAuth2 Auth Code Flow for login (including the main UI portal my company provides clients): https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194906 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194906 This was also an issue in iOS, and since Apple doesn't let any other browsers actually use their own rendering engine on that platform (they're just wrappers around Safari's guts) this was broken for all iPhone users no matter the browser. I avoid using iDevices for this reason alone.
