The only thing that is holding me back from not making safari my primary browser is not having an extension like ublock origin. This seems really promising.

1blocker works well for me on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS https://1blocker.com/
If you want to use uBlock Origin on Webkit you can do it with Kagi's Orion browser. https://help.kagi.com/orion/browser-extensions/ublock-origin...
Second the 1Blocker recommendation. Works really well for me for Mac, iPhone, and iPad
The creator of uBlock is again trying to make uBlock Origin Lite work in Safari.

They might need some help, not much visible progress since it started.
What are you missing specifically? I’ve been pretty happy with Ghostery and AdGuard Pro.
I've been using AdGuard Pro happily on all my devices for about ten years now. I'm wondering what adding Ghostery to the mix does on Safari?
Ghostery doesn’t just hide consent banners and blocks tracking cookies, it also automatically opts-out from tracking consent.

Well, for starters ublock origin is the gold standard, and it's free, and it's open source, and it's been refined over many years, and etc. etc. etc.
I've been very happy with Wipr.
I thought Ghostery has been the gold standard for a pretty long time now…?
I'm still surprised by how much inertia there is for Ghostery.
People should have stopped using that extension nearly a decade ago after being sold to an advertising company.
Or after they went closed-source.
Or after they were caught selling user info about blocked ads back to the advertisers so they could figure out how to avoid being blocked.
Or after they started showing their own advertisements to users.
