if you don't care about specifically whitelisting xhrs or whatever then ublock has the matrix thing for just domains if you tick the i am an advanced user option

probably nowhere near as agressive and therefore baller, but less likely to break poo poo and good enough for most people


in conclusion, safari is good, op

Ghostery is literally an adtech company

Are there any ad blockers for Safari on macOS that take advantage of the native APIs for it, other than 1Blocker?

just ones with less control, i think. 1blocker is like survival mode for configs but i like it since it syncs nicely

i just leave ublock origin running in everything, even safari, because ugh. ghostery wouldnt even be too bad, despite being an ad company, if their ui wasnt laggy bullshit. its like they used double JavaScript and a system simulator of the 90s

wipr is ok
adguard seems to work although it does seem to want you to install their weird extraneous security suite thing
1blocker is the only one that offers a decent amount of customisability but it costs money

afaik they all use easylist, and the api has a hard limit on how many rules you can have at any one time, so they're all pretty much identical after a fashion. some of them do take advantage of the api not needing all the page data to be passed to the extension, which if you're paranoid about privacy might sway you.

i've used most of them and while you'd assume the native content blocking api would be faster, ublock origin manages to block much more comprehensively and load pages palpably quicker. i don't really see any reason to switch
