1Blocker is a rip off. Wipr doesn't work properly. ABP lets a lot of ads through. There is nothing that approaches uBlock at all.

- tpush 6y ago> Wipr doesn't work properly. How does it not work properly? Been using it and am pretty satisfied so far.
- therealmarv 6y agotry Adguard. It's the best one for this Apple interface for adblocking.
- saagarjha 6y ago…which requires an Electron app to constantly be running for it to really work. Not great.
- aledthemathguy 6y agowhy does it work like this in macos? (meaning - it seems to be running an outside process to block ads, unlike in Chrome where the process is internal to the browser, is this correct? as a windows user i was puzzled by this when installing adguard
- saagarjha 6y agoIt doesn't, the Adguard developers just chose to write their app in such a way that their main app (which is an Electron app) needs to be in the loop for everything.
- mthoms 6y agoActually it's true - Adguard needs to run as a standalone process that lives in the menu bar in order to work properly with Safari. This permanent process does appear to be Electron based. My guess is that it's engineered like this to simplify their code base(s) between their various free plugins and their paid "Adguard for Mac" and "Adguard for Windows" apps.
- twistiti 6y agoUntrue in my understanding. The Electron app needs to run to set options or to force filters update, not the rest of the time. It's still an annoyance but it's better than nothing.
- ucha 6y agoI'm using AdGuard and it covers pretty much everything and is very customizable, including the annoying "accept cookies" banners that we have in Europe.
- srgpqt 6y agoNo problems with Wipr here, at all..
- xodice 6y agoWipr works outstanding for me on both iOS and macOS.
