Adblockers for Safari (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone, I've recently gone back to using Safari as my main browser and I really like it, with the exception of being a little lost when it comes to the options for adblock extensions. I have Wipr, but I don't love the lack of customization. The two I see mentioned most are Adguard and 1Blocker. If I were to pay for one premium service, which would you recommend? Edit: Should've mentioned that I'm speaking about macOS as opposed to iOS!

Wipr without a doubt! On all Apple devices. Thanks Kaylee for that wonderful app!

It isn't a bloated software like some other extensions and adheres to the way Apple intended Content Blocking Extensions to work - it is fast and private.

I've been using Safari as my main browser on mac for a LONG time then on a whim i decided to check out Brave. It kills ads for me SO much better and even scores incredibly well with EFF's https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ . I do run uBlock Origin with it and I can go to damn near any site including Youtube with no ads at all. Maybe I'm missing something but so far it's working too well for me to switch to anything else.

Cool, but that doesn’t help with adblockers for Safari.

Also, never going to trust a browser made by a homophobic Covid denier.

Adguard is recommended by privacyguides:

Yup, have it as part if my Setapp subscription for a while now. Really like it!

Didn't AdGuard get removed from Setapp as it was Russian? Although most of AdGuard's devs are now outside of Russia from what I've heard.

Hmmm interesting, that flew past me somehow. But yeah you're right I can't find it in their catalog anymore.
