The adblockers I was using are no longer listed on the on the app store, and the one Apple recommended don't block crap.
Ill be reinstalling from an older backup this weekend.

Same thing here, I dumped Safari and went to Firefox. I think I found the problem. Go to the Safari Menu/Settings for this website. . . and turn on "Enable Content Blockers"
That made a lot of the ads disappear.
Check and make sure your extensions for ad blocking are still turned on in Safari/preferences/extensions. Mine was turned off.

One site I visit I have to click through 4 ads just to get the content. Firefox works better for this, it has removed almost all the ads with the same blockers I was using for Safari.

Thank you very much for your suggestion, Swordmaker. I had already implemented bothl those steps, but still have many more ads than before this update, in which Apple announced they would no longer support UBlock and is harrassing me several times daily over AdBlockerPlus. Probably some third party will come up with something soon.
And I'm not going to Firefox since they publicly dumped their original developer over his personal, private political donations to a conservative cause.

OK I'm down to just 1 ad blocker and it seems to work

It will take some adjusting to block what you don't want, and it's the only one I have tried that Safari doesn't like. You will have to block elements on some pages, but at least I was able to block those hideous ads with the Hildabeast.
But it seems to display fast enough.

Sorry been a little busy / offline with holidays.
Anyone upgraded to Mojave? Do you have a thread on it? I am on a 2013 MB Air, wife on 2014 MB Air... worried about slowing it down...
When I go to the App Store I see the Mojave upgrade along with Pages, iMovie, Numbers, and Keynote, but no mention of seperate Safari 12 upgrade.
TIA and thoughts and be safe and well.
To: Swordmaker
Forgot to add, we are both on High Sierra.
To: BTerclinger
Scratch that question re Safari 12.... it was right there at the TOP of the SW updates right, under big Mojave banner...
....dum, de dum dum, dah....
