Adblockers for Safari (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone, I've recently gone back to using Safari as my main browser and I really like it, with the exception of being a little lost when it comes to the options for adblock extensions. I have Wipr, but I don't love the lack of customization. The two I see mentioned most are Adguard and 1Blocker. If I were to pay for one premium service, which would you recommend? Edit: Should've mentioned that I'm speaking about macOS as opposed to iOS!

I'm a big fan of AdGuard as well, and the ability to customize what I block and what I don't block is why I use it. It's a sort of fire-and-forget application for me though. Once I had the basic lists that I knew to work for me setup and my upstream DNS set to NextDNS (or any adblocking DNS) it covered all of my use-cases. That said, Wipr tries really hard to balance removing ads without breaking stuff, and if it works I'd definitely recommend sticking with it. You can get almost the same effect of "system-wide" adblocking by just using a DNS server that blocks ads.
