#32> uBlock Origin Lite: Chromium-only Manifest V3 extension. Not available for Safari. How did I install it as a safari extension on iOS from the App Store?
This is also outdated. Gorhill did release uBlock Origin Lite for iOS Safari.

#33I've been using https://1blocker.com for many years now without issues. It isn't in their comparison list, but looks pretty similar design wise.
Same here, I have a lifetime license. And it works on both MacOS and iOS. It's a small indie app (1-2 devs I think).

#34Just installed it to see if it might be better than AdGuard on memory usage, and now I’m getting constant “Pssst! You forgot to apply some settings” notifications as soon as I leave the app. Clicking it takes me back to the app, where it does an update of everything, and… That’s it. Leave the app again, and the notification reappears. Quite annoying! Edit: it appears it doesn’t remove ad content blocks like AdGuard,…
>Just installed it to see if it might be better than AdGuard on memory usage
Why would it be? All adblockers are using the same content blocking API, so at best you'll be using less memory usage while it's updating, which happens so rarely that it's not worth worrying about.

#35The readme proudly proclaims: “ The end of Safari ad-blocking B.S.”
Except that it’s just another declarative blocker spread across 4+ extensions. This seems like the same old B.S to me. Better off sticking with Firefox.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
It works when you are outside your home network, without the additional rigamarole of setting up a VPN for all your devices to pass their internet through your home server.
Home Adguard Home works regardless of if I'm at home or not, without a VPN. I'm on Android though and I just set the Private DNS setting - I have a domain and point it at that. I dunno if you can do Private DNS on iOS though?
NextDNS setup has an iOS(/macOS) configuration profile generator which allows you to "lock down" the dns (and use DoH).

#37While the comparison doc mentions it, I don't see anyone here talking about Wipr 2. As the comparison doc states, if all you need is configuration-free ad blocking on macOS and iOS, Wipr 2 definitely gets my vote.

You're ignoring the obvious fact that you can use other browsers. There's no need to use Safari.
Also people choose Apple products for a variety of reasons that might trump their browsing preferences. It's still fair for them to want to improve their browsing experience.
You're trying to call out "Apple fanboys" but all you're doing is showing the biases of your limiting beliefs.

I'm not sure if I'm just completely unlucky and/or illiterate, but I coughed up for Wipr and it really has not panned out as effectively as I'd hoped. I recently also tossed in UBOLite and the difference is night-and-day: actually being able to browse without ads.
