Baking Soda / Vinegar: Replace custom videos with native HTML5 video tags (Vinegar=YouTube, Baking Soda=everywhere else)
History Book - Browse & Search: Every page you visit for more than x seconds gets added with its contents to a full-text index so you can search for that sentence you remember but don't remember where you saw it
Redirect Web for Safari: Custom redirect rules, e.g. replaces Mapper and Customize Search Engine (to redirect to my own SearXNG) for me; also use this to redirect to Facebook's chronological feed every time I open the front page
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.
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.
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.

For me, the most important ones are probably:

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

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
adblockers for Safari work in two ways:
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
I use it for free, no issues. Paid gets you DNS blocking.
AProfessional@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Most are free. YouTube adblocking is paid, not sure which others.

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

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

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
