  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

  • I left Safari when Apple decided that classic extensions (.extz format, available in the Extensions Gallery) were deprecated and would be replaced by full-blown apps, now available via the App Store. Many .extz developers did want to take the trouble to do as Apple required. Among them the dev of the very best adblocker in the business (across all compatible browsers, uBlock Origin (UO). Options then became Chrome or Firefox (FF). I wouldn't touch Chrome with the proverbial bargepole (it's a Google app, privacy issues) and went for FF. Fantastic experience for years, FF never let me down and has been accesorised with the necessary privacy addons, foremost among those, of course, UO.

  • ungoogled-chromium

    Google Chromium, sans integration with Google

  • BTW, I've tried ungoogled-chromium for a while (installed and updated via Homebrew) but access to Google's Play Store for the necessary extensions (think UO) was far too complicated.
