Your Main Web Browser

Wipr 2 is fantastic and more so if you want a set and forget kind of content blocker.
Am not a big fan of Chromium based browsers, but Vivaldi is good! Their staff are pretty responsive too on Mastodon.
Are you sticking with the built in ad blocker in Vivaldi, or installed uBlock Origin or something else?

Hope your sanity is intact after 'fighting' with Windows daily!

My profile pic is how my face looks when I am using Windows 😅

So far I've been using Vivaldi's built-in ad blocker and it's been ok. I think Wipr2 is better though, e.g. I think it also blocks those "accept cookies" and "Sign in with Google" type of popups/elements on websites. Safari+Wipr2 is def a good combo, I might go back if I come across something irritating about Vivaldi but so far Vivaldi is also good.

Ooh, I’m currently using 1Blocker extension for Safari, is Wipr2 a free extension? And is it available on iOS and iPadOS as well? I’m an iPad-primary user. 👍🏻

Wipr2 is not free but IMO it's totally worth the price: works really well and it's very actively maintained, and yes it is available for all apple OSs. I can't remember why I stopped using 1Blocker, I think it worked OK but I had concerns about privacy perhaps, not sure, that was a while ago.

Thanks, I’ll have to look into it. 👍🏻

Safari on all my Apple devices. I’ve been pretty happy with the uBlock Origin Lite ad blocker after using Wipr for a long time.

Firefox on Linux and Windows.

So, I suppose this is a Mac forum, but I am really impressed and surprised by how big the divide between Safari and Chrome is in the poll so far. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who prefers Safari! 👍🏻🙂

I use mostly Safari except for Government sites with lazy programmers that force me to use Edge (or Chrome that I don't use).
