There are plenty of ad blockers for Safari, not sure what nerfed experience you're referring to.

  This has been debated to death, but there are no ad blockers on Safari that will work as well as uBlock Origin, because Safari doesn't have all of the APIs/hooks exposed that would be necessary to implement uBlock Origin's more advanced features. It's the same problem that developers were talking about with Chrome's Manifest V3 -- to the point where popular adblockers for Safari like Adguard actually run outside of the browser so that they're not quite as limited as they otherwise would be by Safari's apis.

  The nerfed experience of addons only specifying a significantly limited list of blocking rules, giving up being able to autonomously allow or deny each request with arbitrary parameters, surrogate scripts (replacing the original, tracking ones with privacy-friendly reimplementations) and cosmetically alter the webpage (e.g. fixing the layout with missing ads).

  > There are plenty of ad blockers for Safari And none of them work as well as uBlock Origin on Chrome. Trust me, I tried. I even paid money to try a few extensions out on Safari in the hopes I would get a better experience, but even that doesn't work.

    (As a safari user) I've found running a pihole to be a good solution Also been trying out this webkit based browser for macos: https://browser.kagi.com https://browser.kagi.com (supports ublock origin)
