> only Safari is able to stop this madness now

Safari is a hard sell when one can't install an ad-blocker on it (work on the street is you can but not easily)

You’ve been able to use ad blockers in Safari for years.

Ya I know I "can". Via app store, I know. Hence my comment: "hard" to install ad-blockers

maybe you should go back and read your own comment. Also, it's not terribly hard to install extensions through the App Store — what makes it more difficult than going through the Firefox/Chrome extension store?

The ad-blocking API Safari offers isn’t as powerful as Firefox’s.

Okay… in practice they work fine though. Saying you can’t use ad blockers in safari is straight up wrong.

I never said "you can't". Please read carefully before replying

I don't think you've read your own comment...

You can install plenty of ad-blockers directly from the Mac App Store

Yes I know. But via app store, not from Safari directly (like every other browser) and for $$$.
