Safari

I miss Firefox and prefer it. Something happened to it one day and now I'm unable to use/reinstall Firefox on my computer (see comment history. Could use help with that too...)

Well, ive seen it across three operating systems (Linux, windows, android). So if you've seen it too on Mac/safari, its safe to say its probably a site specific integration. Hopefully unlock origin adds a blocker for it (though definitely not guaranteed as its not technically an ad). In the meantime, might be worth adding a specific block for the pop up element in UBO. Though not sure if the latest safari has UBO support so I don't think that helps you.

I don't think I can get Ublock Origin for my version of Safari (running a 2015 laptop and it stopped being able to update about 1-2 years ago). Edit: looks like they don't make UBO for Safari?

So is this my internet life now? If I have to close this popup on pretty much every site I visit I'm definitely going to pull a Ron Swanson throwing the computer in the dumpster scene.
