Ad blocking support in Safari isn't great. A lot of the best extensions are a paid subscription, and the free ones seem to be noticeably worse the uBlock Origin.

Wipr is a one time fee of just a couple dollars, and it receives pretty consistent updates.

I second a vote for Wipr.

A few weeks ago something got temporarily screwed up in Safari and Wipr got disabled and I was shocked at how many ads I was suddenly seeing. I didn't realize quite how much stuff Wipr was blocking until then.

I just use the Privacy Extension from DuckDuckGo. It’s not an ad-blocker, but blocking trackers just happen to block most ads.

It's called "DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials" for those will look it up in the AppStore.
