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!

This question keeps popping a lot these days.

I switched from AdGuard to Ghostery.

It's super light, and has built-in Never Consent to CMP in Europe that also have the side effect to prevent advertisers to display ads (because the consent status is unknown, as if the website itself had no CMP manager, which scare the shit out of advertisers)

I also bought Vinegar to kill every single ad on YouTube, simply by replacing YT player with the HTML5 one. And even Google can't do shit against that.

Wait… wasn't Ghostery shifty because it was both blocking ads while also making it's money off ad tech companies?

I don’t know and to be honest I don’t care as long as I don’t see ads and my CPU is not overloaded by bloated ad script.
