For me, the most important ones are probably:

  • Noir: dark mode on any website
  • Vinegar: ad block for YouTube + Pip
  • Vidimote: set the default playback speed for all videos (1.5x in my case)

I bet they’re great extensions but they’re not for iOS as far as I can tell.

somedude@lemmy.ninja · 1 pts · 3y

Sorry! I created the reply on MacOS and provided MacOS links. I didn’t realize the iOS apps are different. But they do exist!

Not a Safari extension, but related:

Thank you so much for posting this, Sponserblock was an instant buy :) Didn’t know there was such a thing on iOS

What makes you choose Wipr over AdGuard and Ghostery?

AProfessional@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (6 replies)

adblockers for Safari work in two ways:

  • Setting a content blocker list of rules (fast, simple). Very likely they all share similar lists.
  • Dynamic JavaScript injection, this can block more complex ads.

AdGuard does both, which is why it’s good.

I’ve never used Wipr, but zero customization sounds awful.

Do you need a paid license to get both features, or is the free version enough?

Lumilias@pawb.social · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I use it for free, no issues. Paid gets you DNS blocking.

AProfessional@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Most are free. YouTube adblocking is paid, not sure which others.

Lumilias@pawb.social · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, looks like premium handles more complex adblocking too. But in general I haven’t had any issues with the free version of AdGuard that would lead me to needing an IAP.

Supercharger@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y

Thanks! I'm going to try the free version :)

Wipr is a simple "set it and forget it" extension. While it's not as flexible as AdGuard, it's also a lot less complicated to use because it manages the filters automatically. But it does not have a way to modify the filters.

I've never tried Ghostery, but I should check it out.

AdGuard Hush: blocks other nagging pop ups AMPlosion: auto routes AMP links to the real site Sink It: Makes Reddit more usable in browser.

I use the same extensions but I wish I had a better alternative to Hush, since it basically just accepts all cookies.

Sink It is great but loads inconsistently for me for some reason. When it works, it’s awesome. A lot of times it doesn’t and no amount of reloading fixes it.

All my years of using an iPhone as my secondary device... I never knew there was extension support! Let me go go down the rabbit hole.

fer0n@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 3y

It’s only been there since iOS 15, but they’re so good. Probably my favorite feature in the recent iOS releases.

Are you using the free version of AdGuard or a paid license?

Is use the Firefox Focus safari extension as my content blocker. I think it works really good, can I say better then Adguard?

I combine it with nextdns ad blocking too.

Other extensions as others have mentioned: Noir, Vinegar , Backing soda , Kagi, Opener.

One day, I will simply use the Orion browser as my main browser instead.

DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 3y

HyperWeb. It’s free to mostly use and has lots of customization including blocking elements , auto clicking and adding new rules.

There’s a paid option up implement automated rules but I never use it

Also Vinegar of course
