What Real Users Say About Wipr 2
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Causing issues
"Not satisfied"
Excellent
"I was a bit apprehensive about using an adblocker with no custom settings in case there are issues with certain sites or I wanted to add more lists. Has been great I have not seen any adds on sites I have been frequenting where on ublock light I still would gets adds here and there even on the strictest setting - granted was still great overall but this adblocker has been better and I haven’t run into any site issues. Only caveat to the Wipr2’s paid Filtr subextension is that if your home or work firewall has blocked domains related to Apple’s private relay it will also prevent the Filtr extension from working. Hence I generally find it mostly working while I’m on cellular."
Unusable
"Has made almost every website (news, banking, etc.) unusable."
Doesn’t work.
"Doesn’t work. Not worth the purchase."
Got Questions About Wipr 2?
Q.Is Wipr 2 free, or does it require a subscription?
Wipr 2 is available as an honest One-Time Purchase for $4.99. Buy once to unlock full lifetime access, completely avoiding recurring subscription charges.
Q.How do I enable Wipr 2 in macOS and iOS Safari?
On Mac (macOS): After downloading from the Mac App Store, open the application once, then launch Safari -> click "Settings" (or Preferences) in the menu bar -> select the "Extensions" tab -> locate "Wipr 2" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "Wipr 2" and toggle it ON.
Q.Why is Safari ad-blocking much faster and lighter than Google Chrome?
Chrome extensions traditionally execute heavy JavaScript inside every web page to inspect and block URLs on the fly. Safari uses native compiled JSON rule lists processed directly by Apple WebKit engine in C++, preventing ads from even starting to download without executing third-party code in your tabs.
Q.Does this extension work in Safari Private Browsing mode?
Yes! On macOS Sonoma / iOS 17 and later, go to Safari Settings -> Extensions, and ensure "Allow in Private Browsing" is checked. This ensures the same clean and ad-free experience while safeguarding your incognito sessions.
Maximize Your Productivity on macOS & iOS
In Safari Preferences -> Websites -> Content Blockers, you can easily toggle rules per domain with a single shortcut.
