So on Safari for MacOS, I usually use the Adguard for Safari extension. But I miss ublock origin. I have been playing around with the Orion (of Kagi search) fame since it will let me use Firefox or Chrome extensions, but I keep having this nagging feeling that we just need a Mac developer to port ublock origin and that will satisfy 99.99% of the folks who use Mac. So, what does it take to maintain a port over time, year after year?
Impossible, because Safari is missing crucial API needed by uBlock Origin.<p><a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/assessing_your_safari_web_extension_s_browser_compatibility" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/saf...</a><p>Incidentally, missing API is also why uBlock Origin will either die or be significantly limited in Google Chrome with Manifest version 3. (I'm not sure of Gorhill's plans.)
