> the blocking webRequest API (which Safari never supported)

This is inaccurate. Safari (Mac) supported it until 2019, and indeed there was a version of uBlock Origin for Safari back then.



I don't think uBlock Origin ever supported Safari?

Ah, unofficial fork


It was a fork. I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "unofficial". Gorhill said at the time that he didn't have time to maintain a Safari version, but he was aware of the fork, which mostly shared code with upstream, and seemingly endorsed the fork.

Interesting, thanks for the correction.
