On OSX, there are Safari App Extensions. They’re not as user customizable as extensions on Chrome but they do exist. In fact I recently release my own Safari Ad-tracking blocker on the Mac App Store.

Came here to mention this, so thanks for bringing it up.

Safari has definitely come a long way, and the app extensions tend to get underrated.

Are they 100% up to par with Chrome's? Probably not, but when shopping around for reasonable competitors, you need to account for the trajectory, rather than just the current state.
