Looks as nice as before...
Anyone knows what Content Blocking does? It doesn't seem to suppress Ads (like on this page).
What that does is if you have a content blocker (adblocker) installed, it will allow you to control what sites it runs on. Not just any adblocker will work with this. It needs to be one of the newer "content blocker" style. I'm using the Adguard (https://safari-extensions.apple.com/details/?id=com.adguard.safari-N33TQXN8C7) content blocker extension.
Once you have that extension installed you will see the option in that screen to enable/disable by site. See my screenshot.
