I would love to switch to safari. What do you use for ad-blocking?

It seems like it's won't be working on Safari for much longer. Info from 2 days ago "I can confirm that on macOS Catalina Developer Beta 1, uBlock Origin is completely removed as it is not using the MAS distribution method." Src: https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari/issues/151
This hasn't been updated in over a year (last commit Apr 2018). Personally, I use Wipr from the App Store because it's very cheap. AdGuard is also an option.
I didn’t realize unlock origin works on safari. This is very helpful. Thanks!
It’s deprecated.
Pi-Hole is a nice DNS-level adblocker, works with anything.

Otherwise I discovered nextdns.io recently, which seems to work well too.

I find AdGuard pretty good, but I’ve only started using it recently.
I use Wipr both on IOS and MacOS and it’s been great.
1Blocker and I also use LittleSnitch as a blocker.
You could also try ublock origin.
