Safari’s content blocking APIs are far from powerful. Content blockers provide the rules and safari blocks what it is told to. So you’re stuck with the (limited) features the browser exposes. Apple put limitations on what extensions can do, so uBlock would struggle on Mac and simply not work on mobile. Using its own engine (exactly the opposite of the Apple way), uBlock can handle the most complex websites and offer more features and customisation.
