We already have Wipr 2 (https://kaylees.site/wipr2.html) on the App store which is a pretty dang great ad blocker and well worth the price.

Is it better than Wipr 1? Because I paid for that one and it's kinda ... unsatisfactory.

Edit: at least compared to full uBlock Origin on desktop Firefox. No idea how good or bad are the other mobile solutions.

Most of the time i solve my mobile ad blocking needs by ... not browsing on mobile.

Yes. I used to use Wipr 1 and also found it underwhelming, eventually settling on 1Blocker. Eventually I decided to give Wipr 2 a shot and it’s much improved.

It also now allows blocking even outside of Safari. Though that requires iOS/macOS 26, which I have no intention of installing any time soon, so can’t speak for how effective that is.

I've been using Wipr for a long time. Both on iOS and macOS and it works perfectly. I don't see any ads. When I happen to use or see other people's devices I'm amazed by the amount of ads on the screen.

Adguard works well and is free. I did pay for Wipr 1 but now switched to Adguard.

Yeah AdGuard seems to work great for me. Any reason to switch to unlock Origin Lite?

As someone who is using AdGuard on Safari and uBlock origin on Firefox, no. Both equally good IMO. I'm not seeing any ads!

Doesn’t look like it supports Family Sharing, is that right?

I'm not sure I know what that is. It's a single purchase for a lifetime multi device license.

I use both Wipr 2 and Adguard Pro. $15 total and well worth it. Adguard is mostly just to run custom rules for blocking elements.
