I’ve been using safari + Wipr and I haven’t noticed any big difference.

I will actually second this. Wipr is really good.

Also, generally speaking, the way Safari implements this means that the extension passes on the block list to the browser and Safari itself implements the blocking. This means,

1. It is more private since the extension does not have access to your webpage. 2. It is faster because Safari can do it natively and it is not done in JavaScript.

Too true. I have Safari with 1Blocker / Wipr, through a PiHole that uses NextDNS for DNS resolution. All other browsers feel like wading through treacle. Whenever I'm forced to use Chrome on someone else's device I'm gobsmacked at how anyone could put up with something so slow and clunky.
