I've been under the assumption that FF with its ABP, uBlock, and Privacy Badger extensions, as well as the included FF tracking protections were the toughest you can get. Is Safari is up to that level now?

No, Safari is not bad at all but lack of third-party ad blockers hinders it.

Safari has many third-party adblockers.

It doesn't have uBlock Origin, and the ones that it does have aren't as good.

Not one that can block youtube ads though.

Wipr seems to block YouTube ads for me.

Content blockers work fine in blocking YouTube ads.
