Currently I use 1Blocker but I will switch to AdGuard. Somehow 1Blocker doesn’t work properly for me anymore
Pi-hole for my whole network, I can WireGuard into it when I’m away.
Yep, exactly what I do. Has the advantage of also blocking in-app ads and some of Apple’s data collection. It also gives you complete control over what you block and don’t block, lets you see stats etc. Can’t really be beat.
Ad Guard in Safari. When you get a site that says you are being naughty, you flip to “Show Reader” to bypass.
Then install Sink It and you’ll miss out on all the cookie prompts and bs, including Reddit asks to install app (I no longer have an account there).
Adguard on desktop seems to be working well for me, but is entirely useless on mobile for some reason
Once installed, you have to configure it in Settings > Safari > Extensions. Make sure it’s all turned on and enabled.
For safari i use Firefox Klar and Hyperweb as Extensions.
Other than that I have a raspberry pi running WireGuard and Pi-hole, which my phone is constantly connected to. This provides extra security (as all my traffic is encrypted) and privacy. Pi-hole filters out ad and tracking domains.
Seconding AdGuard . It’s really working well for me.
Adguard for Safari is good. I switched to Brave recently as well though.
I use the ad blocking built into Proton VPN. That way my traffic stays private and no ads/trackers.
Proton VPN is rather pricey if you use their ad blocker, I thought about giving it a go but the price turns me off.
Honestly the best way I’ve found
I’ve been using Wipr, but the cookie notice blocking is breaking quite a few sites now
I use Brave browser, which has ad and tracker blocking built in.
I also have all my devices using a piHole for ad, malware, and tracker protection.
NextDNS. Setup on my router so it hits all devices.
Another AdGuard user here. I’ve got the paid pro version that allows DNS blocking system wide via the VPN profile method but if you’re just looking for Safari only the free version is good.
Wipr + NextDNS
1Blocker and a pihole at home.
Adguard pro along with adguard home.
Adguard DNS
Pihole on my Debian system with PiVPN WireGuard server.
Safari extensions:
Vinegar to block YouTube ads in Safari. I don’t use the app at all.
Banish to stop websites showing those annoying “open in the app” pop ups.Ad and nag free bliss.
Almost the same config but instead of pihole I use adguardhome and for extensions I also have SponsorBlock for YouTube
