Adguard is NOT free. Beyond that, it is the worst plague of the modern computing age - subscription.

An ad blocker has access to extremely invasive data and Adblock wants me to pay them a subscription so they can get my PII and associate it with my browsing?

It is also not Open Source so I can't rely on the hope that someone smarter than me would have caught its dirty tricks.

I use Safari for a tiny subset of my browsing due to this gaping hole...

Adguard for Safari is both free and open source

You are right - I searched "adblock safari."
