    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?

        I use it for free, no issues. Paid gets you DNS blocking.

            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.
