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 ?

Hello,

Safari only blocks trackers that try to track yours internet activity. There is no built in adblocker in it. So adblocker is still useful.

Best Ad Blocker For Safari 13.0.1 Recently upgraded to the new Safari 13.0.1 browser which rendered my former ad blocker (Ublock Origin) useless. Now the pop-ups are killing me. The Safari built in block settings don't work. Nothing seems to stop them. Really, it's out of control. Are there any Mac-friendly ad blockers out there to eliminate such?
