On KDE, “Falkon”. On GNOME, “Web”.

On Macs, Safari.

On all platforms, Firefox. Firefox is a little disppointing in that it’s still bundled with stuff you probably don’t want, but it’s far far less objectionable than Chrome, Edge, Brave.

Could you inform me how to get uBlock Origin working on Safari? Or any other adblocker that isn’t a joke?

AdGuard for Safari is free and well respected. (And GPL3, if that floats your boat.) https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardForSafari

1Blocker is also well respected, but not free.

If uBlock Origin is a hard requirement, Firefox is available for the Mac.

You might wanna take a look at Orion browser by Kagi. Built on WebKit like Safari, but not open-source (yet, as they say). The interesting part is that it supports addons from both Chrome and FF.

I'm fairly sure AdGuard works fine on Safari, though I have heard its performance is lacking -- shame, as Safari is a great little browser (despite my personal dislike for macOS).
