Best Ad Blocker?

Wipr works perfectly on Safari 12 and 13. I use (and prefer) 1Blocker because it allows customised lists and granular control.
is WIPR Working for you on iOS? It used to work great, but ever since updating my iPad to IOS 13.1, I’m now seeing ads again. I even checked settings and have the 3 Wipr blockers turned on in safari settings.
I'm using Firefox and uBlock Origin now that Safari 13 is out. I miss the integration of Safari with the passwords but without a good ad blocker it's a no go for me. I still use Safari for bill pay sites because an ad blocker isn't necessary. This is on MacOS. On iOS I still use Safari but might change IDK
Using Better Blocker and seems to be working great

Thanks! I was using it on the old "Safari Extensions" for freeand it appears to have been removed. I was able to buy it for $1.99 and everything is working as expected now.
Is that normal that I had to buy it for MacOS and iOS separately? Essentially twice?
No, not on a router. In a virtual machine, on a Raspberry Pi, on any PC running Linux or Raspbian.
It doesn't block YouTube Ads, Pi-Hole totally useless and not worth the trouble to install/setup.
I block them with uBlock origin just fine.
I'm not sure if this would help me block ads on my Mac. I guess I could trade it in for a Raspberry Pi LOL. I've heard there is some way to block traffic on a router like this but IDK
I've used Adblock Plus for quite some time now and really enjoy it.

From a related thread:
I used to have both Adblock, Adblock Plus, uBlock and Ka-block, and tried them all (alone and in combination).
After upgrading to Safari 13, I kept only Ka-Block. It does the job without any fuzz (and without any additional permissions to access this and that).
Ka-Block seems to do the trick on Safari 13, too.

Same here. Don't use the Pro version though, it will completely mess up Safari.
I also don't see a point is paying $5 for a few extra features when the free version works just fine.
I'm using Unicorn blocker, it has a small one time cost but it does a fine job.
