What adblock extension works on macOS Safari?
How can I block ads in Safari 14 on macOS Big Sur?
Most mainstream adblockers don't support Safari or don't block ads or cause websites like YouTube to stop working.
I've tried
- wipr
- Adblock Plus
- Adblock
- uBlock
Are there any Safari-compatible adblockers that actually work?
AdGuard from Appstore works fine for me.
As an alternate answer, I use the hosts file from https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts on my system to block all sorts of known garbage.
I also use Little Snitch to add rules as necessary to catch what the hosts file does not catch.
While nothing is 100%, nonetheless, these have stopped most of the garbage.
Note however I'm doing this on macOS Catalina and have not implemented this under macOS Big Sur, but thought it worth mentioning.
Note: I am not affiliated with either of the aforementioned products, just a happy user.
