Wipr is a simple “set it and forget it” extension. While it’s not as flexible as AdGuard, it’s also a lot less complicated to use because it manages the filters automatically. But it does not have a way to modify the filters.
I’ve never tried Ghostery, but I should check it out.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, looks like premium handles more complex adblocking too. But in general I haven’t had any issues with the free version of AdGuard that would lead me to needing an IAP.
Wipr (Ad blocker). Set it and forget it! It’s not a resource hog either.
What makes you choose Wipr over AdGuard and Ghostery?

Just tried Ghostery, and it misses a lot of ads.
adblockers for Safari work in two ways:
AdGuard does both, which is why it’s good.
I’ve never used Wipr, but zero customization sounds awful.
Wipr does both too, and the lack of configurability isn’t as bad as you think it is. But if that’s a dealbreaker for you, then stay away from it.
Do you need a paid license to get both features, or is the free version enough?
I use it for free, no issues. Paid gets you DNS blocking.
Most are free. YouTube adblocking is paid, not sure which others.

Thanks! I’m going to try the free version :)
