I switched to this from AdGuard. uBlock lets through more than AdGuard did. I’ll be switching back until this matures more or try out Wipr.

Oh yeah. Totally testing this even though wipr is great already.

[–] muzzle@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wipr?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Generally regarded as the best content blocker on iOS.

Does Wipr work on YouTube? Vinegar hasn’t been updated so it’s been broken for months.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yep. Haven’t had ads on YT mobile for a long time.

Is this on the youtube app or YouTube in safari?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

YouTube Safari. I stopped using the app a long time ago, I couldn’t take it anymore. With ad free YT in Safari it’s actually quite nice.

[–] twikz@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That available as a PWA?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No. Add to Homescreen link opens in Safari.

Regarded as better than AdGuard?

AdGuard takes a sec to enable after phone restart, meaning no Internet connection for a brief period. Glad it’s killswitching itself (ostensibly), but wonder if it’s a necessary delay.

tin foil Wonder which is less likely to be a honeypot… /unparanoid

Yey

The Link to view in TestFlight keeps failing to open. Very unfortunate.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Worked for me when I posted it. Maybe hug of death?

[–] tophneal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

No it was my fault lol I forgot I hadn’t reinstalled TestFlight on this newer phone

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 2 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately it doesn’t work with YouTube currently

[–] good_hunter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I’m using the AdGuard extension. Would this potentially be a preferred alternative?

[–] parody@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago

All fulled up!

Thanks Cy

[–] Deemo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wipr works wonders for me so far any benefots to ublock lite specifically?

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It’s free and open source.
