Hi,

is there a decent adblocker for Safari like uBlock Origin for Firefox? Most adblockers in the store seem a bit scummy somehow and I’m not sure if I can trust them.

1Blocker?

I have used 1Blocker for years and have been relatively content. I may be grandfathered into a lower price of like $5/yr, though. So I’m not sure about the cost being worth it for a newcomer who can’t get a deal like that.

AdGuard

I use AdGuard.

There’s lifetime family plan (for more devices) to be had on stack social almost as a permanent fixture. You can occasionally stack it with extra coupons.

I find Wiper to be really effective. There is a one of payment though think it’s only around £5

I use nextdns to adblock my entire connection since it lets you configure multiple sources of filters like ublock but on the dns level.

NextDNS is great and well worth the price imo. I use this for DNS level ad and telemetry blocking on my LAN and across all of my mobile devices. Having DNS over HTTPS is nice too, I’ve got 100% of my DNS requests going to nextDNS via HTTPS.

DNS-based ad blocking is the way to go. Apps load tons of telemetry, and you can sprinkle in malware protection too. I prefer the DIY approach of Unbound + a ton of blocklists, but the solution is essentially the same.

*puts on his flame retardant suit

For android or pc, it’s Firefox and ublock origin all day long.

For iOS it’s trickier. Generally the ad blockers don’t work like you expect, and many aren’t free.

But I have found a solution that’s worked for years, but people are going to flame me.

Brave browser for iOS. It just works. Even for YouTube videos. You hear how they are a shady company-they are probably selling my firstborn son right from under my nose. But I’ll be damned if I’ve ever seen an ad come through.

Adguard, blocks most everything. Add their dns/adguard home on it and it’s pretty solid.

Seconding AdGuard. Also, there’s no need to pay, the free tier is more than sufficient. Links for convenience:

AdGuard as others have said.

It’s great but does it block ads?

WestyFlyer@lemmy.world on 26 Jun 03:52 collapse

It blocks (or skips) YouTube ads. I use it in conjunction with 1Blocker to get all ads.

bamboo@lemm.ee on 26 Jun 03:58 collapse

Oh nice, didn’t know that. Sponsorblock is also available on Safari but it’s a few dollars I think.

vermyndax@lemmy.world on 25 Jun 13:12 next collapse

1Blocker has been the best for me, as it works with all of the Apple devices and syncs across them. Another option is to enable reader mode by default on all websites, so instead of getting the site with all of the ads, you’ll get a reader view without the ads and distractions.

ghostery (works for safari on macOS too), firefox focus, or brave

windowsphoneguy@feddit.org on 25 Jun 21:03 next collapse

Personally quite satisfied with Firefox Focus (or whatever it’s called in English, in German it’s Firefox Klar)
