Description of App
Ad and Tracker Blocker
Wipr blocks all ads, trackers, cryptocurrency miners, EU cookie and GDPR notices, and other annoyances, so you can focus on the content that matters to you.
It works in Safari and all apps that use Safari to display web pages.
• Time, Data, and Battery Saver
Web pages load a lot faster with Wipr, and much less needs to be downloaded. Your mobile devices will love this.
• Private
Wipr prevents countless trackers from invading your privacy. Wipr itself cannot, nor wants to, know what you do on the web.
• Fast
By using a new technology called Content Blocking Extensions, Wipr can do its job without slowing down Safari at all.
• Up-to-date
Wipr's blocklist is updated twice a week to keep up with the ever-changing web.
• Honest
No one can pay to unblock ads. There are no "acceptable ads". Wipr only answers to you.
• Global
Wipr will use an enhanced blocklist for Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese speakers.
• Smart
You can set up Wipr in seconds, and it will update automatically in the background to block future annoyances. There is no configuration.
This app was built with love and patience. I hope you'll enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed designing and building it.
Wipr is also available for your Mac, look for it in the Mac App Store!
Enjoy a cleaner web!
Accessibility Comments
It is fully accessible with Voiceover, and extremely simple to set up. Next version should support dynamic text according to the developer. Requires enabling 4 extensions in Safari to work properly, but you are guided through this in the startup wizard for the app. Only three buttons in the main window, and they are all labeled. Show test page, automatic refresh, and about. About has a great FAQ that has full documentation, as well as buttons to recommend and rate the app, provide feedback which was responded to in less than 24 hours, and to tip the developer if desired.
