I've recently switched to macOS and Safari with Wipr. I don't see much difference to my Firefox setup with AdNauseam (uBlock Origin) before. More on the contrary - my selected lists were very aggressive and I had various sites where I had to disable uBlock to see them properly. With Safari and Wipr, everything seems to just work.

AdNauseam is not uBlock Origin, you can not use AdNauseam's results to judge uBlock Origin.

As a direct fork, it’s currently 2282 commits ahead, 586 commits behind your uBlock. That amounts to about the commits since uBlock 1.29.0 - which is exactly the version they’re claiming to use.

But yes, who knows what they’ve changed.

It's not just the code, it's also about what is not filtered in Adnauseum that would normally be filtered in uBO with default settings/lists.

Thank you so much for umatrix (I know, discontinued) and UBO, Raymond, and thanks to all the filter list maintainers.

Please allow me this minor hijacking to express my complete and absolute gratitude for your efforts in developing uBO.

Good to know, thanks. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot. I suppose $2 isn't that big of a risk given what some apps on the Mac App Store cost
