> 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. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-Safari-and-Cana...
