- Wipr: Simple and effective ad blocker
- User Scripts: customize your browsing experience (https://greasyfork.org)
- 1Password: password manager
- Kagi: premium search engine
I bet they’re great extensions but they’re not for iOS as far as I can tell.
- Achoo HTML Viewer & Inspector
- Amplosion: Redirect AMP Links
- Baking Soda / Vinegar: Replace custom videos with native HTML5 video tags (Vinegar=YouTube, Baking Soda=everywhere else)
- History Book - Browse & Search: Every page you visit for more than x seconds gets added with its contents to a full-text index so you can search for that sentence you remember but don’t remember where you saw it
- Noir - Dark Mode for Safari: Works better than Dark Reader for me
- Redirect Web for Safari: Custom redirect rules, e.g. replaces Mapper and Customize Search Engine (to redirect to my own SearXNG) for me; also use this to redirect to Facebook’s chronological feed every time I open the front page
- Rewinder - Time Travel the Web: gorgeous Wayback Machine UI, albeit very slow b/c archive.org is slow
- SingleFile for Safari: Latest addition, not used it much; allows to save a complete web page incl. all assets to a single file similar to MHTML
- SponsorBlock for YouTube
- Table of contents - for Safari: Provides a TOC for web pages to easily jump to different headings
- Wipr: Pay once, install and forget ad-blocker. Works very well for me - incl. YouTube ads.
Not a Safari extension, but related:
- Opener - open links in apps: Share a deep-link to this tool and it provides a list of apps to open the link in
Wipr (Ad blocker). Set it and forget it! It’s not a resource hog either.
Wipr is a simple “set it and forget it” extension. While it’s not as flexible as AdGuard, it’s also a lot less complicated to use because it manages the filters automatically. But it does not have a way to modify the filters.
I’ve never tried Ghostery, but I should check it out.
adblockers for Safari work in two ways:
- Setting a content blocker list of rules (fast, simple). Very likely they all share similar lists.
- Dynamic JavaScript injection, this can block more complex ads.
AdGuard does both, which is why it’s good.
I’ve never used Wipr, but zero customization sounds awful.

Do you need a paid license to get both features, or is the free version enough?
