        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.

        adblockers for Safari work in two ways:

        • Setting a content blocker list of rules (fast, simple). Very likely they all share similar lists.
        • Dynamic JavaScript injection, this can block more complex ads.

        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?
