The only thing that is holding me back from not making safari my primary browser is not having an extension like ublock origin. This seems really promising.

I thought Ghostery has been the gold standard for a pretty long time now…?

I'm still surprised by how much inertia there is for Ghostery.

People should have stopped using that extension nearly a decade ago after being sold to an advertising company.

Or after they went closed-source.

Or after they were caught selling user info about blocked ads back to the advertisers so they could figure out how to avoid being blocked.

Or after they started showing their own advertisements to users.
