I’ve been using 1Blocker for a long time since back when there where few choices and it was clearly the best option. I like that it syncs with my desktop and use it with Safari on macOS too. I also like that it’s easy to whitelist sites, that it’s easy to block elements of specific sites, and that it’s an indie app.
I think the reason for not using the full EasyList is that Safari limits the number of content blocker rules to 50k, less than can accommodate the full EasyList. I wonder how AGP gets around that.
In any case, I rarely see ads with 1Blocker. The one thing it doesn’t block reliably is ad blocker detection, but I’m not sure that’s even possible for a Safari content blocker to do.
Looking at the App Store, I see there are a lot of blockers now. How did you decide on AGP over the others?
- Nextgrid 8y agoFor me the main reason has been EasyList support instead of some kind of home brew list (they’re pretty much always based on EasyList anyway, but with a homebrew list you explicitly rely on the developer updating that list).
