Safari on visionOS supports Content Blockers and extensions just like on every other platform. In what sense is visionOS any different from iOS or macOS in this regard?

EDIT: I suppose the developer of the content blocker needs to already have an iPad version and check the “visionOS” box, but Apple has made this extremely easy and it’s in both Apple and the content blockers’ interest to release a visionOS version.

"Content blockers" are trivial to bypass though. It's a half-assed "solution".

In 9 years of using content blockers I've come across I think one site that eventually prevented ad blocking without resorting to JS: YouTube.

That's it. I've occasionally had to add a custom blocking pattern but essentially nothing else has been impossible to block.

I can't think of many other "half assed solutions" that have worked as advertised for almost a decade.

What do you mean? Safari also supports regular WebExtensions for advanced blocking. I truly don’t know what you’re referring to.

It's even more limited than MV3, let alone MV2
