There is Safari. Or whatever is based on WebKit on Linux (there must be some...) GNOME Web/Epiphany (same thing) seems to use WebKit and is officially supported https://webkit.org/downloads/ https://webkit.org/downloads/ https://apps.gnome.org/Epiphany/ https://apps.gnome.org/Epiphany/ It seems there is no WebKit browser for Windows.

> There is Safari. Or whatever is based on WebKit on Linux webkit was forked from the kde browser, not the other way.

  So? Epiphany is based on WebKit now, KDE Browser doesn't exist anymore. (I needed to check it first.)

    Its called Konqueror, and exists, but it uses a webkit fork now! Webkit was forked from KHTML which has been discontinued.

No good adblocking for safari like in firefox though

  Extensions like AdGuard and Ghostery are pretty good.

    Ghostery is an ad company, just as Anonym.

        Under its past owner Evidon, their business model was based on selling data to advertisers. Starting 2018, they showed personalized ads by themselves, through the GhosteryRewards program. I think that has since been terminated, but it would comply with the FAQ you posted (they claimed that personalization was purely on-device). I don’t know of any current offending practices, but there is no reason to trust or support this enterprise in the presence of better alternatives. uBlock Origin never did any of that, avoids all shadow of conflict of interest, and works better.

    Coming from a ublock origin perspective, I’m not so sure

  AdGuard works perfectly fine in Safari on Mac and iOS
  - kjkjadksj 2y ago
    Its no ublock origin thats for sure
    - einsteinx2 2y ago
      Unblock Origin is best in class for sure and I use it on my other browsers, but when browsing on Safari I don’t notice any real difference in the number of ads I see compared to Ublock Origin, that is to say I don’t really see any ads on any browser I use. My point being that the statement that there’s “no good ad blocking on Safari” is just not true. Saying “there’s no Ublock Origin on Safari” is true, but that’s not the same thing as “no good ad blocking”. AdGuard works just fine.
