ublock origin lite has a safari extension: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home it's missing the element zapper and has some other limitations, but it works pretty well for the most part combined with ublacklist and sponsorblock it's fairly good coverage for safari

Full uBlock Origin is dead in Chrome, yes, but https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home is the next best thing

uBlock Origin Lite on Safari has been improving since the first release. It has more filter lists, and there is support for custom rules and an element picker to help make those rules. I also have the same issue with the back button, where that obnoxiously large Google login prompt show up whenever I navigate back to a Stack Overflow page. But it's definitely not all ads that show up when I navigate back. Looking at GitHub issues, it's only Javascript-based blocking that's affected. https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/518#issuecomment-3393472736

> It most definitely is as well. No. uBlock Origin works best in Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox uBlock Origin Lite can't do everything uBlock Origin does: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)#filtering-capabilities-which-cant-be-ported-to-mv3 If Lite is working for you then good. If you want fuller capability then you want uBlock Origin in Firefox.
