I've used Wipr for a long time on both my Mac and iPhone, this isn't true.
- rpdillon 3y agoWipr says it uses Safari's Content Blocking API, which has restrictions similar to those found in MV3. I think this is what GP was referring to, since it means Wipr/MV3 is limited in what they can block compared to, say, UBO on Firefox.
