      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.

        Do you need a paid license to get both features, or is the free version enough?

            Most are free. YouTube adblocking is paid, not sure which others.

              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.
