Best products from r/uBlockOrigin

Snarky answer:

Yes. Namely, https://www.google.com/chrome, https://www.getfirefox.com, or do Google searches for Opera, Brave, Chromium (Chrome minus the Google tracking crap) or Waterfox. Optionally (to keep keychain management going and even allow export outside of macOS) https://keepass.info or https://macpassapp.org and and follow these tweaks to these instructions. For an even briefer switch, go to the Apple App Store, grab your choice of Chrome or Firefox, optionally grab MacPass if it's on the Apple Store, and follow the instructions on how to import your keychain. Then install uBlock Origin (and optionally Nano Defender), install a browser extension (like MacPassHTTP) that works with MacPass, and there you go (even if it isn't QUITE as pretty as Safari, sorry, I can't help with that, functional ain't always pretty, let this be a life lesson).

If you insist on sticking with an insecure, unsecurable browser because of Pretty, go to Amazon and get a basic Raspberry Pi 3 starter kit, go to https://pi-hole.net/, and set up a nice portable firewall for your Macs. And never, ever connect to the Internet unless it's through that PiHole. No, not even at Starbucks.

Not at all snarky, but more in depth answer pointing out WHY this issue exists and why pretty much the ONLY fix is switching browsers (tl;dr: It's Apple's fault):

Apple, after about fifteen years of actually trying to embrace the fact that macOS (and Safari) were based on open source/free software with a lot of proprietary hints and kinks for Pretty and User-Friendliness, has decided to go back to the bad old days of going Full Walled Garden (largely in the name of integrating macOS and iOS code and business models--especially the latter--iOS has always been quite a bit of a Walled Garden, and a Profitable Walled Garden, and Apple very, very much wants to do the same with its flagship NetBSD derivative, and as of late Apple has been working very, very hard in turning what was formerly a nice serviceable PPC-then-Intel-containing, NetBSD-derivative-running, series of Good Boxen into an A-whatever-based glorified iPad Pro with delusions of grandeur).

In the case of Safari (at this point, the sole remaining Webkit-based browser that is not for a smartphone) this actually goes to multiple levels that, for all intents and purposes, actually now make it literally impossible for anyone but Apple to actually develop a secure adblocker:

a) Starting officially with macOS Catalina, and apparently unofficially with latest releases of Mojave, Safari is completely doing away with its old format of extensions. Normally this would not be a huge problem (Firefox pretty much did the same thing with Firefox 57, which is why Waterfox exists) except for the following things:

b) Pretty much all new extensions can't be installed externally--you have to get them from the Apple App Store, and there is apparently a Charge to do so. This explicitly includes all extensions with adblocking or script-blocking capabilities.

c) Unlike in the past, extensions for Safari have to be written in Swift (Apple's own proprietary Objective C fork that is heavily, heavily optimized towards iOS nowadays) for certain types of functionality--and the way Apple has redone extensions means that the new way of doing "extensions that block content" actually doesn't block all of it, because (among other things) the tools to even do the blocking no longer exist for third-party developers to use. The actual import of blocklists would require at least a second extension (more on this below) and blocking of hostile scripting may be all but impossible in the new model (because apparently actual content blocking by lists is ONLY done by Safari, and Safari adblockers in a post-Safari-12 world have to pretty much compile a list of Bad Things To Block and then send that on to Safari's internal content blocker in JSON).

d) Apparently Apple also has a completely undocumented 50,000 entry limit per blocklist, which means that multiple blocklists have to be imported, and even Adguard has had to resort to some very kludgy methods to get around this (from multiple "daughter extensions" to injected scripts that will work until Apple closes that hole).

Suffice it to say that in a post-Safari-12 world uBlock Origin would require so much recoding (for actually less functionality) that it wouldn't be uBlock Origin anymore, and that's why uBlock Origin has effectively been an abandonware extension since April 2018.

In my opinion (as a network engineer, as a security engineer) the only things that a browser that cannot have proper adblock functionality should ever be used for are to download browsers that can be properly secured and for OS-specific stuff that ONLY allows connections with the default browser shipped with a device. (Make no mistake: surfing "naked" is dangerous. I've had to clean up more than one infected computer at a workplace where (due to a site's heavy use of ActiveX) someone HAD to use IE, and managed to get infected even from ads from the likes of CNN and Bloomberg News. Hell, the advert networks of CNN and Amazon (among others) have in past been hijacked for ransomware droppers; if I can't trust ad networks to keep their sites clean, I just don't trust advert networks by default.)

In the bad old days I gave that advice for IE (as the old Rick and Morty meme goes: The purpose of life of IE is to download Chrome) and in the post-Safari-12 era that's pretty much the explicit advice I give for Safari--its purpose in life is to go to the App Store and to download one's choice of a securable browser. In this case, it means something derived from Chromium (Chrome, Opera, Brave, plain-jane Chromium, and approximately a half billion other browsers based on the Chromium code), Quantum (Firefox and Waterfox alpha 68), or Gecko (Waterfox and about half a billion other derivatives). Apple in their infinite lack of wisdom (which tends to creep up about, oh, every 20 years or so--ask any old Apple geek who remembers the 90s) has denied adblock creators the tools to actually effectively block ads and malicious scripts in Safari, so it can no longer be considered secure.

This is a link to a specific movie in which ads play. Their movies are free to watch but have ad breaks endlessly throughout. So I’m guessing it’s something imbedded in the movies but I’m talking out of my ass cause I know nothing
