Safari still can't use uBlock, so I still can't use Safari.
The content blockers on Safari on iOS are pretty much worthless. Mobile web on iOS is easily the worst part of the iPhone experience, but at least on MacOS there are other browsers. I can't fathom why Apple cripples Safari this way on the desktop. It's at a huge disadvantage, and remains so. Literally the only advantage for Safari in my experience is that it can actually play full-HD Netflix streams, where other browsers can't.
