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.
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.
Paying for a YouTube ad blocker instead of just paying for YouTube Premium seems a little silly.
YouTube premium just went up to like $80/month didn’t it? Seems a bit more than $5.
No, you’re thinking of YouTube TV. Different service.
Gotcha, I thought they were the same service.
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.
