Can you assist? I’ve just installed AdGuard and paid for it
but the Facebook stuff still isn’t being blocked. Do you know what I may have got wrong?

honestly Safari with private relay and ddg extension is way better than trusting ddg browser alone
I also use 9.9.9.9 and Little Snitch, globally blocking all known (to me) trackers system wide. I’m satisfied with that along the the DDG browser.
I also have the DDG extension on Safari as well and agree that it’s an excellent combination. I’ve just grown to prefer the DDG browser from a usage standpoint.
I've currently uninstalled Ad Guard. I got a refund on Premium (because it's not needed to hit 100%) but the app still thinks I have Premium license. I was going to uninstall it and wait a few days to see if it updates itself.
In the meantime I went back to Wipr and now it hits 100%! So I'm probably going to just stick with that. Adguard is good but a bit too bloated and awkward to use. I noticed some web pages are slow to load with it. Wipr "just works" and pages load quicker I think.
if you want to hit 100% you'll need to do some user rules. See my previous post:

Do what @SenorWhyMe suggests in post #105:
if you want to hit 100% you'll need to do some user rules. See my previous post:
I got it to 93% from your screenshots. I didn’t realise there was further buttons on each tab!
I’ll look at the 100% part
cheers again mate
Yeah i was the same. I didn't realise you could press to go further in. They could probably do with updating the UI. That's why I refunded it because I bought Premium thinking I needed it and even after buying it I couldn't find the right settings.
you have to wait until the filter is properly loaded - I reached 100% with that test page
adguard seems a bit slow to update. definitely need to wait a minute after changing anything.
I have downloaded Wipr again and I am getting %100 now, even without Lockdown, which is enabled anyway.
Using Wipr now because Adguard slowed down my Safari too much and wasn’t even that good anymore.

I'm looking at ka-block, hush and consent-o-matic. Can anyone tell me if they overlap functions? To me, hush and consent-o-matic are similar. What can happen if I run 2 extensions that do similar things?
Sorry to resurrect an older thread but looks like Super Agent has moved to a subscription model. Are there any alternatives to that?
I also run Wipr, but not sure if that blocks cookie consent pop-ups. (If it does, then I guess that answers my question.) Can anyone confirm that?

Looks like an app called Consent-O-Matic does this, created by privacy researchers at Aahus University in Denmark. Giving it a try!
How you 2 get 100% with Wipr?
I have only 89% with all toggles enabled incl. Wipr Extra (see pics for details)

I am using the Hush App (https://oblador.github.io/hush/) in combination with Wipr and Lockdown. Works great and keep most of the annoyances away.
Here you could test your adblocker performance:

Lockdown? You mean this expansive Abo App?
PS: forgot to mention that I also have Hush activated. 😉
