Trackers

Apple security is reporting a lot of attempted tracks predominantly from google. Is there a way I can stop safari from using google as the search engine when I type into the search bar?

allow cross-site tracking for specific sites Is there a way to make cross-website tracking availible on only specific websites? Similar to the whitelist options availible for some other settings in Safari? If not, it's something Apple should definitely get on. Like I said, they have whitelisting availible for other settings, and I hate needing to have it turned on for all sites when I only need it for a few of them.

trafficshield.xyz keeps popping up a web page in Safari at random Seems to be happening when I'm running the Fun Difference game on my 9th generation iPad, OS is almost up to date (18.3, latest update to be installed tonight). I've looked around at the Safari settings, there doesn't seem to be a setting that addresses this.

Is Adblock useful for Safari 17.1 with Sonoma MacOS ? Safari informs me that it blocks a certain number of trackers; so maybe there is a built in embedded adblocker which does the job ?
