I've tracked down the "legitimate content" a few times and these are usually trackers, just baked in so deeply they break the content too.
Sure but the point is a browser level adblockers can separate the tracker content from the legitimate content while a network level blocker can either block both or neither.
A comparison with Brave would be most welcome.
Pros: * Supports both Chrome and Firefox extensions, vs. Brave supporting Chrome only. * Not so much with the skeezy crypto emphasis. Cons: * Brave has a multi-year head start, and has worked all the kinks out. Sync works, etc. * This is Apple-only. Brave works on every major device. I won’t be leaving Brave anytime soon. But competition is a good thing, and this beta is worth keeping an eye on.

Yes, but I can't install browser ad blockers on gaming consoles, TVs, and whatever other appliances the internet of shit will produce.
The one thing that is lacking from Safari is extensions. If this does what I believe then it will be my main browser. Safari adblocking sucks atm.

I'm on Safari, with the occasional testing and account segregations with Chrome. The combination of AdGuard[1] (found via SetApp[2]) and NextDNS[3] works for me well on Safari. 1. https://adguard.com 2. https://setapp.com 3. https://nextdns.io
I'd use this if you can remove all the Apple crap features: - All the crap of AI / machine learning to prevent cross-site tracking that's useless to me in "Private Browsing" mode - just give me back control over cookies (manually and through third-party extensions), and keep Apple away from my data. - Remove the crap "Web Advertising: Allow privacy-preserving measurement of ad effectiveness" code from webkit. Keep ad…
And I assume you're aware that "all the crap of AI / ML" is disable-able with a checkbox right?

Orion was created in 2019, is bootstrapped by the founder and is being built by a world-wide passionate team. I have nothing against that guy, but it'd be nice to have more than a promotional self-description. Does he have a good individual reputation (e.g like Raymond…

This is being spoonfed information.

Better.

I’ve never heard of Raymond Hill, so I think it wouldn’t make much of a difference
Raymond Hill created the uBlock ad blocker, and now maintains uBlock Origin ( https://github.com/gorhill )
If possible (a.k.a if Apple allows this) please integrate Keychain with this browser. I am not sure if there are many people like me, but I am using Keychain and it is the reason why I default to Safari and using any other browser it takes effort that I am doing, but I really wish Keychain could be integrated in other browsers too. LE: It seems they already support this as stated in their FAQ/"How does Orion store my…
Ditto Firefox. I'd use it a lot more. Right now, only for YouTube. Also, I hope Orion has hooks needed for uBlock. (Preparse hook?) For whatever reason, Safari + 1Blocker doesn't filter YouTube's ads. I'll use fulltime which ever browser that has both keychain and blocks youtube ads.

I count Brave's emphasis on crypto as a pro and necessary for our hopefully one day ad-less future. If you block ads without allowing the ability to donate a token you are effectively stealing from site owners and causing the rise of paywalls and other restrictions on the internet.
This is "you wouldn't download a car" level argument.
