I'm sure it's better today. I'm talking about my experience back then. It may be a challenger, but it still has tradeoffs that system architects need to factor in when making database decisions.

The reason I go with Safari Content blockers and /etc/hosts is because both of those solutions stop network requests before they even attempt to make a network request. uBlock is a good backup solution, but I want my computer to
