Switched from uBlock Origin
I switched to this ad blocker after uBlock Origin hasn’t been updated in a while. I am pretty happy with the results especially compared to the 1Blocker version on Mac. Ads are getting blocked the same way as uBlock — as in I havent noticed anything that wasnt there before. The huge adavtanage is that this blocker uses Safari native content blocking so going back on a page causes it to refresh much less frequently than with uBlock. It still happens sometimes but on uBlock hitting the back button forced a refresh almost all the time. I think its worth the $2 price tag and support for the developer. Just FYI, to whitelist a page you have to right click the adress bar> settings for this website> and uncheck 'enable content blocker on this site.'
Best Content Blocker Yet
Works perfectly with Apple's content blocker system. People complain about no extra interface, but that is one of the best features. 1Blocker, for example, adds an extension for content blocking, and a Separate extension to add a button to whitelist sites. The thing is, that button has full access to every page you visit. Personally, I prefer using the built in system so that no ad blocking comapny has full access to all sites and http content that passes through Safari. As has been noted in several reviews, it is easy to reload a page without content blockers and/or whitelist a site. It's just built into the browser, so if you don't know how, blame Apple, not this developer.
Really simple. really nice
I'd been switching between 1Blocker (now abandoned), AdGuard, and uBlock Origin for a while now, but each of them has their compromises either in blacklist coverage or performance. Wipr, though, doesn't miss a beat with blocking ads and keeps my Safari CPU usage at a sane level (definitely heed those new warning triangles on extensions saying that performance will be affected). It's seriously the whole kit and ka-bang. Plus, it's super simple. You literally just turn it on and let it do its thing. I really enjoy software that does its job, does it well, and doesn't appoint you as its manager. And this is the perfect execution of that.
Automatic Refresh Not Working.
It blocks most ads and it is so simple to use, which is why it is great. Yet, there are some websites that have the pop-up message that forces you to disable the ad-blocker, which means the ad-block removal list is not included in Wipr's lists by default. This is unfortunate, as you cannot manually add filter lists and these websites become unsuable without fully disabling the blocker. Moreover, the automatic refresh does not seem to be working. I occasionally open the app and it has updates ready to download, but I have the automatic update feature enabld.
