I use AdGuard Pro in combination with StevenBlack/hosts [0] and a custom DNS. This is used for system wide (not just Safari) ads/tracker blocking. Adding custom filters as and when required.

Any reason for this over Weblock?

I like weblock (I believe were talking about the same by Futuremind) but I prefer their other app Adblock (I posted a small quib about it ~15 replies up from this reply). You can also, if you want; copy the PAC weblock sets up for you, host it yourself on github and then set it up as your own proxy for whatever wifi you connect to.

Ah okay cool! I accidentally bought both. And wasn’t sure which to return. I’ll return Weblock then.

The pac self hosting feature seems cool too.

I’m just using nextdns now though so won’t be actively using any future mind apps for now. But good to know
