> Safari continues to pave the way for privacy on the web, this time as the first mainstream browser to fully block third-party cookies by default Too bad Safari isn't my default browser anymore, ever since they essentially killed it when they neutered extensions.

I initially felt the same way, as I relied on ublock origin, but the loss of that extension forced me to switch to pihole, which I think is an overall better approach to ad blocking. It works for all devices on your network, so you get ad blocking on devices that you normally wouldn't like your smart tv and the apple news app.

  Being DNS based, pi-hole cannot block specific paths of otherwise-acceptable domains nor can it do any cosmetic filtering. It is not necessarily a better approach for web browsing.

  I find wipr works really well.

Neutering extensions was necessary as they were a major privacy problem in itself. Most extensions would inject themselves in any page, having access to everything on such sites; for example your bank login, credit card transaction details, private FB messages, Gmail etc.
