Wipr 2.1.4 defeats YouTube ads
Wipr 2.1.4 defeats YouTube ads
Wipr blocks ads, popups, trackers, cookie warnings, and other nasty things that make the web slow and ugly. Websites in Safari will look clean, load fast, and stop invisibly tracking you. You’ll notice significant improvements to your battery life and data usage. Setup is a snap. Wipr’s blocklist...
Is it worth paying 6€ for ?
I recently got an iPad, it's the first Apple device I've use. I am still not over the fact that I need to pay for a thing as basic as an ad-blocker, and that it will only work with Safari...
I use AdGuard and Vinegar Extract (Vinegar without the adblock part). IIRC those are free and work well for me, so try them first.
Second Vinegar. It’s an awesome little add-on.
I’d say so. I haven’t upgraded to Wipr 2, yet, but Wipr 1 is effective and simple. AdGuard has a free version that is good but, for whatever reason, involves a lot more settings changes. AdGuard has the advantage of letting you select elements and block them. Wipr doesn’t, don’t know if Wipr 2 has that.
If you want free, try AdGuard or Firefox Focus.
There’s wBlock if you can’t justify the cost. I just prefer supporting indie devs. Not sure how effective it is against YouTube ads though.
Welcome to the Apple world
There are a lot of options to block ads. I don’t pay for any apps and don’t see any ads on my Apple devices.
See my earlier comment: https://feddit.org/comment/3765971
confirmed.
Why cant the dev just update the original wipr? Why the need for wipr 2?
I bought the original wipr years ago. Havent used it in favor of adguard.
Because app developers can’t support themselves with a $5 app that people use for half a dozen years.
Skip buying one drink or appetizer and pay for an app to support people who make great things.
I’m unfamiliar with Wipr is it worth $6 for the new one or just pay $2 for the original?
I use KaBlock and Hush Nag Blocker. Both apps are availiable for macOS as well as for iOS. They are made to work with Safari. So far I haven't had any issues with ads, even when watching Youtube videos. They are free. I would give them a try first. If they don't work for you, you always can purchase wipr later.
