I switched from Refine to Adguard about a month ago mostly due to lack of updates from Refine. I haven't had any complaints so far.
Purify was the best at the start but now support has dropped off and it is no longer competitive.
I use AdGuard. Good all round blocker with optional filters. Review on #441 https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...rs-mini-reviews.1918483/page-18#post-22354828

I have a ton of them and genius is the best if you want to block everything.
Its a pay app but like all of them I got it free not long back. The rest have all been uninstalled.

Add me to the list of Adguard users. It's fast, doesn't cause issues with websites, is constantly updated, and best of all... free
If I ever go android I'll absolutely be buying their lifetime license to not only have ad blocking in chrome, but also to support them as I feel they are a good company.
Thought I would post a screenshot of genius since its a pay app. I only use ad blocking and have never seen a single ad. Can't ask for more. Maybe it will go to free again soon. Simple and effective. Adguard is a good app but bloated, over 80mb where Genius is 12 mb.
Genius does not have the safari extension where you can report missed ads but I have never had a missed ad or messed up website. Safari is MUCH faster.

After all the posts about Adguard I downloaded it last night, replaced my Adblock Plus. So far so good. Great app and I really like the in-browser controls.Add me to the list of Adguard users. It's fast, doesn't cause issues with websites, is constantly updated, and best of all... free

I'd like to submit feedback to Apple in allowing host file edits with authentication, I've got a nice 520kb hosts file that I'd rather use to block content.
Agreed and as such please use that thread for this discussion
