Where is ublock for safari? ;)
- saagarjha 7y agoIf you're referring to my first point, I'm talking about Intelligent Tracking Prevention.
- inferiorhuman 7y agoYou know a great way to prevent tracking? A decent ad blocker. I don't care how good Safari's "intelligent tracking prevention" is, but as long as they're blocking uBlock Origin I'll browse elsewhere.
- Spivak 7y agoSafari isn’t blocking uBlock so much as they changed their extension API and uBlock can’t/won’t rewrite to support it. This is really no different than what Firefox did with WebExtensions but had the advantage of being mostly compatible with the Chromium ecosystem. It’s true that content blocking isn’t as powerful as what uBlock does/did with WebExt but WebExt also isn’t as powerful as XUL extensions.
- chipotle_coyote 7y agoThe OP was talking about things that Firefox and Safari both provide out of the box; neither one provides uBlock out of the box, AFAIK. Personally, I'm perfectly happy using Better on Safari, after being somewhat reluctantly driven to using ad blockers a few years ago. https://better.fyi https://better.fyi (Having said that, Safari 13's "now does even less!" approach to extensions is finally making me consider switching back to Firefox after all these years, even though I don't actually use many extensions.)
