Wipr?
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.
Yep. Haven’t had ads on YT mobile for a long time.
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
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.
Yey
I’m using the AdGuard extension. Would this potentially be a preferred alternative?
Unfortunately it doesn’t work with YouTube currently
The Link to view in TestFlight keeps failing to open. Very unfortunate.
Worked for me when I posted it. Maybe hug of death?
No it was my fault lol I forgot I hadn’t reinstalled TestFlight on this newer phone
All fulled up!
Thanks Cy
Wipr works wonders for me so far any benefots to ublock lite specifically?
It’s free and open source.
