Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

      Interesting. I only got my Mac about a year ago and since then I’ve used AdGuard mainly because it’s the only good thing on iOS and I assumed uBlock Origin never was a thing for Safari.

        It basically wasn’t. The original developer allowed a fork on platforms they weren’t interested in, drama ensued and eventually, the Apple thing happened anyway.

        uBlock became uBlock Origin once the "origin"al developer took over the project again.
