There’s currently no way to install it from the Safari Extension page, so you’ll have to download the file and install it yourself. It’s currently undergoing testing, but it’s already very fast and stable. The best ad blocker for Firefox and Chrome has finally been ported to Safari! It’s the same as the current stable versions for other browsers and it already miles ahead of the languishing uBlock extension for Safari. UBlock=No updates from a dishonest developer that piggy backed on the original developer’s great work. Meanwhile the ORIGINAL developer has gone on to continually update his blocker and renamed it “uBlock Origin”, but it’s only available for Firefox and Chrome. This person took over the uBlock project and has neglected it along with some dishonest conduct. The original developer for uBlock made his extension for Firefox and Chrome, but there was no Safari version until another person came along and offered to make a Safari port. Why? Simply because it’s not regularly updated. However, I cannot recommend uBlock for Safari. The shining feature of uBlock is it doesn’t use as much memory as other blockers like Adblock Plus and can keep your browser lighter using less memory. uBlockĪ recent newcomer to the adblocking world, uBlock showed up out of nowhere and stole the show on Firefox and Chrome. It’s regularly updated for Safari too! Can’t go wrong with this one, but the performance is not great these days. It’s solid and lets you subscribe to different filtering lists. It’s the most famous one and the one I used the longest when I was using Firefox. This is probably one of the grandfathers of ad blockers. There are more ad blockers popping every day now, but there are three main ones I want to talk about:

It’s not 100% on par with Firefox or Chrome’s extension abilities, but getting there. Since then, Apple has slowly opened up to allow developers to write extensions for it. Apple kept Safari locked down until version 5 hit in 2010. Updated (uBlock Origin has been ported to Safari! Anyone using the old uBlock for Safari should abandon it and switch to Origin ASAP)įor a long time, Safari didn’t even have extensions or the ability to use them. Which one is the best ad blocker for Safari? I’ll give you my thoughts. Today I want to talk about the current ad blockers available for Safari and which ones I think are worth using. I’m always testing out different browsers and utilities.
