    For me, the most important ones are probably:

    • Noir: dark mode on any website
    • Vinegar: ad block for YouTube + Pip
    • Vidimote: set the default playback speed for all videos (1.5x in my case)

      I bet they’re great extensions but they’re not for iOS as far as I can tell.

        Sorry! I created the reply on MacOS and provided MacOS links. I didn’t realize the iOS apps are different. But they do exist!

    • 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.

      What makes you choose Wipr over AdGuard and Ghostery?

        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.

          Wipr does both too, and the lack of configurability isn’t as bad as you think it is. But if that’s a dealbreaker for you, then stay away from it.

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

            I use it for free, no issues. Paid gets you DNS blocking.

              Most are free. YouTube adblocking is paid, not sure which others.

                Ah, gotcha. Yeah, looks like premium handles more complex adblocking too. But in general I haven’t had any issues with the free version of AdGuard that would lead me to needing an IAP.

        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.

        Just tried Ghostery, and it misses a lot of ads.

    AdGuard Hush: blocks other nagging pop ups AMPlosion: auto routes AMP links to the real site Sink It: Makes Reddit more usable in browser.

      AMP was honestly one of the main reasons I quit using Google.

      I use the same extensions but I wish I had a better alternative to Hush, since it basically just accepts all cookies.

      Sink It is great but loads inconsistently for me for some reason. When it works, it’s awesome. A lot of times it doesn’t and no amount of reloading fixes it.

    All my years of using an iPhone as my secondary device… I never knew there was extension support! Let me go go down the rabbit hole.

      It’s only been there since iOS 15, but they’re so good. Probably my favorite feature in the recent iOS releases.

    I moved from wipr + hush to AdGuard and I’ve been happy with the change. It seems to break less websites and block more ads/annoyances. I also like the custom rules where if it doesn’t block something it should like a please-don’t-use-adblock overlay you can tap it away

    HyperWeb. It’s free to mostly use and has lots of customization including blocking elements , auto clicking and adding new rules.

    There’s a paid option up implement automated rules but I never use it

    Also Vinegar of course

    Is use the Firefox Focus safari extension as my content blocker. I think it works really good, can I say better then Adguard?

    I combine it with nextdns ad blocking too.

    Other extensions as others have mentioned: Noir, Vinegar , Backing soda , Kagi, Opener.

    One day, I will simply use the Orion browser as my main browser instead.
