I’ve installed Firefox 127.0.2 along with uBlock Origin and so far things are going pretty good – as much as the ‘all Apple’ ecosystems nice I can’t help but get frustrated by the crippled experience with the new extension model that is being pushed upon users over the next year with Chrome at the head…

Just having a read through the Webkit website to see what the latest Safari Technology Preview has in store (link) and what peaked my interest was this: The support is present on M3 as well as A17 SoC – I’m holding off for the M4 or M5 because I’m interesting in seeing Apple move to…
