Happy holidays and Happy New Year.
We found a way via DuckDuckGo's repos to clear our rendering functionality while preserving the user's privacy - https://github.com/duckduckgo/tracker-surrogates/tree/main/surrogates 

Can you please confirm that Safari is using their lists dynamically, or will we need to wait for the next Safari 17.x version?
