About

Wipr blocks ads, popups, trackers, cookie warnings, and other nasty things that make the web slow and ugly. Websites in Safari will look clean, load fast, and stop invisibly tracking you. You’ll notice significant improvements to your battery life and data usage. Setup is a snap. Apple featured Wipr in “The Best Safari Extensions”. The Filtr add-on extends Wipr’s blocking to all apps on your devices. It acts at the network level, but unlike a VPN, it can access none of your data, and can be used in conjunction with VPNs, iCloud Private Relay, and custom DNS. Wipr’s blocklist is updated twice a week automatically, and has enhanced versions for the following languages: Bosnian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Malay, Montenegrin, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese. Wipr is a universal app: install it on all your devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro) with a single purchase. It’s fully accessible with VoiceOver, Voice Control, and more. Dark, Tinted, and Clear icon variants are included. Family Sharing is supported. Because it’s developed by a single independent developer and 100% funded by its users, Wipr only answers to you: no one can pay to have their ads unblocked, and there are no “acceptable ads”. This app was made with love and patience. I hope you’ll enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed designing and building it. – Kaylee Terms & Conditions: https://kaylees.site/terms-and-conditions.html EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

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."

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

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.
