Honest question: Why not just drop support for Safari? If Apple wants to make it hard to write content blockers, they can do without content blockers, and the users can see ads and eventually switch to a browser that doesn't show them ads.

I do honestly believe they want to make content blockers good. Maybe the problem is that we don't communicate our pains good enough, maybe it's that they don't hear us sometimes, but I think that we have the common goal and this post will help them understand us better.
I see, thank you. Hopefully it's just about not enough extension writer feedback, fingers crossed it'll get addressed!
The browser they switch to is more likely than not to be Chrome, furthering Google's control of the web.
