A covered pick. Anyone can use it as a private drop-in, with no setup or know-how. Enough for most people. Threat levels
Our take
An unusually capable Safari content blocker that goes well beyond hiding ads into broad tracker and cosmetic filtering, and it is open source. Worth knowing how Safari works here: Apple’s content-blocker model limits how deep any extension can reach, so even a strong blocker like this cannot do everything a system-wide tool would. A solid pick for Safari users on Mac and iOS who want serious blocking inside the browser; pair it with network-level filtering if you want coverage across every app.
