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:
StopTheMadness
What are those doing?
edited in some more details
Thanks :)
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?
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?
I use it for free, no issues. Paid gets you DNS blocking.
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.
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.
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
Not adblock lol common L for iOS users
