So I’ve been using wipr and it appears to have been draining my battery when using it on my m1 MBA. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know of an adblocker that doesn’t drain battery? I have a pi-hole that removes most of the ads. But a local adblocker helps when it’s not a DNS ad.
Got a tip for us?

Do you know if there is a targeted release date for 1.9?
I tried it, but I found the ad blocking features to be limited, was I missing something during setup or do I need to pay for more ad blocking features?

No, I use the free version of Ghostery Lite on the default setting. I never see ads.
I can recommend https://nextdns.io/ as a system-wide adblocker.
Works via DNS blocking with freely configurable lists and good privacy. You can even use it entirely without an app via manual configuration https://apple.nextdns.io/

I am just a regular user. I do a lot of web surfing, listen to music, watch movies and play some Facebook games. I used to have AdGuard but because I bought my base MBA m1, I wanted to take advantage of it to install universal app. I found Adblock pro for safari in the App Store. It's only 10 mb but I don't see any ads. My battery life is great. I used my MBA almost 6 hours and I still have 80%.
Just set up AdGuard DNS in your Network settings to block ads system-wide: How to set up AdGuard DNS
Following as well. I want the best and most efficient way to disable these ads that I see EVERYWHERE. I only use safari on my new M1
Try using 1Blocker. It blocks ads, comments, trackers, widgets, blocks cookie notices and other annoyances.
