Trackers

Apple security is reporting a lot of attempted tracks predominantly from google. Is there a way I can stop safari from using google as the search engine when I type into the search bar?

Enable cross-site tracking in Safari for specific website I want to enable cross-site tracking for a specific web site where I need it, and keep it disabled for all other sites. How do I do this? In the Preferences all I can see is a single checkbox to turn it on or off for the whole browser. I looked at "Settings for this website", but the option for cross-site tracking doesn't appear there.

Is Adblock useful for Safari 17.1 with Sonoma MacOS ? Safari informs me that it blocks a certain number of trackers; so maybe there is a built in embedded adblocker which does the job ?
