I don’t have a lot of hopes that this will satisfy my needs. I just want these extensions in Safari, to start with: * uBlock Origin (confirmed as of now as not supported, and unlikely to be supported in the future either, with content blocking handled at the browser engine level) * Privacy Possum or Privacy Badger * Session Buddy or some good Session saving extension

Seriously. Not being able to block ads with Safari makes an automatic no-go for me. Even if they make their own built-in ad blocker, you can bet they'll let companies pay to become "platinum sponsors". No thanks.

  > Not being able to block ads with Safari makes an automatic no-go for me I actually turned it into a very specific use-case: when I need to be tracked for cashback/referral purposes on big purchases, I use Safari. Everything else goes on Firefox. It's a bit ironic to use Apple software when I want less privacy, after all their spiel.

  I've been happy with Wipr on macOS and 1Blocker on iOS for years. In fact I think you can just use 1Blocker in both platforms now. Neither is as "good" as uBlock Origin but I don't really care.

    I believe Wipr works on both iOS and macOS. I'm also a happy Wipr user.

  The full app extension apis do let you do that (based on my installed as blocker), there’s just a bunch if restrictions that apply to those extensions to prevent arbitrary content manipulation (iirc).

  Of course you can get ad blockers for Safari, for Mac and iOS.

I’ve resisted upgrading to Catalina because of the missing UBlock Origin support. Does anyone know of a tool to migrate open Safari tabs to Firefox?

  You can bookmark open tabs to a folder. On Firefox, Open All in Tabs

I'm with you. I switched from Safari being my main browser, which I did love, to Chrome and then to Firefox. I cannot use a browser without uBlock Origin.
