  "textContent": "WhyRhy:\n\n> …do you know what it is _actually_ blocking or are you simply trusting that it is doing _something_?\n\nThis has essentially been my reservation with Wipr since the beginning. I know it works because I’ve compared websites with it enabled and disabled, but its set-n-forget nature makes it a tad too simplistic and opaque for my liking.\n\nTo Wipr’s credit, this lack of granularity means it’s not as clunky as something like wBlock[1] or AdGuard. It just works without fuss, although you’ll need to augment Safari with other extensions[2] as soon as you realize Wipr’s limits.\n\nI’d assume the same with Filtr. You’re probably just getting the same filterlists Wipr relies on, just extended system-wide now. Probably good enough for most people, but not quite at the level of NextDNS with HaGeZi Multi Pro/Ultimate.\n\nWon’t lie, Filtr does seem appealing for my particular use case. I currently have Mullvad set up on the router for this particular iPad, so in theory I could enable Private Relay (included with my Apple One sub) which would effectively give me randomized oDoH queries for each Safari tab while Filtr does the filtering (something Private Relay lacked) for everything outside Safari, all whilst being inside a Mullvad tunnel.\n\n* * *\n\n  1. which had long replaced Wipr on my iPad, up until a week ago when an update broke its element zapper, so I’ve reverted back to Wipr for the time being. ↩︎\n\n  2. for example, I rely on StopTheMadness Pro for hiding page elements and other stuff ↩︎\n\n\n",
