I cannot use a browser that is owned by a company who's financial model is dependent upon browsers being nerfed.

Apple and Google have far too many incentives to wall garden browsers, Apple due to the app store, Google due to advertising.

Independent browsers are the only safe path forward.

Since they nixed uBlock Origin Safari has not been a serious web browser to me. No amount of technology can make up for it.

I've been using uBlock Origin Lite on Safari with no issues. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id674534269...

I use Adguard/wipr to great success. Why's uBlock Origin better? Also, wipr now has filtr, which provides URL filtering at the macOS level, so it's as efficient as it gets.

1Blocker has been rock solid for me. Got it after reading about it on Daring Fireball and now I can’t use a Mac without it.

PWA for starters? They are not interested in Indie devs anyways. Might as well let us use PWA no?

I use AdGuard, Wipr, and uBlock Origin Lite on my iPhone, and uBlock Origin on desktop.

I swear there are little gaps in each that the others get, but they're very minor. When uBlock Origin Lote recently released on iOS (within the last year), I noticed a few more things blocked. I also prefer the custom element removal or uBlock and can reuse my desktop filters.

It's free, so I'd recommend adding it as an addition to the bunch.
