And that's how Wipr work around this limitation and fits 85,000 rules on EasyList into Safari, by registering 3 individual extension access points into Safari using a single app bundleID. The "fairly limited" is also not true Apple rules that one blocker tool can work at the same time and each registered Safari extension access point of that blocker can pass 50,000 rules to Safari, but Apple didn't forbid you to register multiple extension access points. In other words, Safari will not even render or initiate the network connection for any elements and internet resources in the blacklist, and the filtering task is performed by the native machine code in Safari code base, rather than the 3rd party injected code written in interpreted scripting language, so how can this be "potentially slow" ? The real connection filter tasks is done by Safari itself and all network connections are not going through and intermediate tier. Under the new regulation, content blockers works only as a rule configurator that assembles the rule set, and pass it to Safari. Anyone said this didn't fully understand how the new Safari ad-blocking works. Also what's with Adguard being allowed to read sensitive information like credit cards and passwords? This was another reason why I ultimately switched. Best of all the lag in Safari is all gone.
It blocks all the ads from the websites I use and I have absolutely no complaints.
Took a gamble and it was the best $2 I've ever spent. Yes it it's not free like Adguard, but it's only $2. So I started looking for alternatives, and Wipr was one ad-blocker that people kept mentioning. To confirm that Adguard was causing all of the lag, I would quit Adguard and browse Safari without it and not to my surprise, the lag was completely gone. But still I would notice lag, jitter, and slowdown just from general browsing. Clicking on Safari would cause like a 3 second delay before it would open, then I would see the beachball, and then I would be able to use the browser.
For the longest time I used Adguard on my MacBook and it was good for the most part but one thing that I've noticed about it since day one was the lag that it introduced to Safari.
