About Safari and Canary support
There was support for Safari in the past, several years ago, but not anymore, and it's unknown whether will be again or not, however there are currrently ongoing active main discussions regarding it's revival in the coming future:
- Explanation of the state of uBlock Origin (and other blockers) for Safari
- feature: maybe it's time to rethink the possibility of porting to Safari
- Safari Version
together with a big pile of unnecessary and redundant separate duplicate questions like this:
Hence there is no point in spamming the issue tracker by creating new separate duplicates over and over, discussion and sharing opinions should be continued in already existing main threads, new threads will be labeled as invalid
or duplicate
and closed.
Chrome/Edge Canary are not officially supported, due to too high likelihood of breakage (example). Use either beta or stable.
Also there exists a big pile of invalid issues created over years by Canary users, many of them with an answer: "don't open issues with Canary":

Since by default Tor browser runs in Private mode (Incognito), uBlock extension requires a permission "Allow this extension to run in Private Windows" to be accepted, this permission can be accepted during uBlock installation, or changed later in browser addons settings, see related links:
