I chose to use Firefox because its not a resource hog like Chrome and doesnt have any Google tracking attached.For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.Called AdGuard. Apparently there is a program for Safari and a different one for the Mac.Whats the purpose of an ad blocker if the website denys entry unless you turn the ad blocker off.
As far as I am concerned, they are just shooting themselves in the foot by blocking my access, missing a possible sale they could have had. I use that for my general web browsing and Safari for paying bills etc where I dont need ad blocking. Apple is under lots of pressure from advertisers so they stopped them from working effectively. If youre dead set on Safari your only option would be to downgrade to version 12 but Im not even sure if thats possible and would likely come with security risks. I think a few sites but honestly I cant remember what ones and I just close them and go elsewhere like the OP said. If AdGuard blocks a site incorrectly (by my own subjective opinion) I just add it to the Whitelist. Ive been using AdGaurd on my 2017 MBP for the past 2 years with no issues on Safari or Chrome. I know its not exactly what you asked but I use uBlock Origin on Firefox. What is known is that Apple updated Safari in a way that caused current ad blockers to be unusable. Why could be Apple under pressure from advertising companies (My belief) or maybe Tim Cook just being himself. Now you can do ad blocking other ways but just not within Safari or at least not effectively.
