I suppose, but Safari/Webkit shows that you can get what feels like 95% of the way there with static block lists which are ideal when they are sufficient.

They're faster and they're trustless. The only attack surface of a block list is that someone removes their site from the list.

you wouldnt have auto playing videos with ublock origin. 95% might be nice but theres a lot missing.

The static blocklists can be defeated easily by having ads served by the same domain.

In that case you are stuck due to apple's decisions.
