    Is it worth paying 6€ for ?

    I recently got an iPad, it’s the first Apple device I’ve use. I am still not over the fact that I need to pay for a thing as basic as an ad-blocker, and that it will only work with Safari…

    I’ve been using AdGuard for years, and I don’t ever have any problems with YouTube ads.

    And it’s free

    I’m unfamiliar with Wipr is it worth $6 for the new one or just pay $2 for the original?

      I use KaBlock and Hush Nag Blocker. Both apps are availiable for macOS as well as for iOS. They are made to work with Safari. So far I haven’t had any issues with ads, even when watching Youtube videos. They are free. I would give them a try first. If they don’t work for you, you always can purchase wipr later.

        Which one do you like better? I try not to overload my phone content blockers because it’s hard to troubleshoot if a site breaks. I see Hush Nag claims they are FOSS so I’m leaning towards it.

          I discovered KaBlock first, and it did its job. I did not test it with Youtube tho. A couple of weeks ago someone mentioned Hush Nag Blocker and I installed it as well. I think they complete each other, as Hush makes Cookie-Banners disappear, which KaBlock doesn’t. Both KaBlock and Hush seem to block ads from Youtube - I haven’t experienced ads on smartphone so far (I skipped into maybe 3 to 5 videos on it in the last couple of weeks, as I have a data plan that isn’t tailored for video streaming).

      Because app developers can’t support themselves with a $5 app that people use for half a dozen years.

      Skip buying one drink or appetizer and pay for an app to support people who make great things.
