Add Wipr as a recommendation to enhance Safari's privacy.

[Peacock365]

Hello community,

the proposal here is to add the Wipr app as a recommendation for users running Safari, especially iOS users where using a WebKit-based browser is mandatory. Wipr is an ad and tracking blocker that hands it rulesets to Safari and doesn't itself monitor the browsing of the user. Its list-based blocking is superior to Safari's standard blocking which is much more conservative in what it is actually blocking. I also believe Wipr + Safari to be superior to other solutions like Firefox Focus (iOS) or Brave (iOS).

The app is long-standing and the developer responds to all relevant questions in the FAQ. I would like this discussion to focus on Wipr's relevance for iOS users, since macOS users may run other recommended browsers like Firefox (Wipr would only be a secondary recommendation there for those insisting on running Safari).

Thank you for your attention, I would be glad to hear other opinions on the matter.

We generally advise against installing browser extensions, however we do list AdGuard for Safari which is both free and open source (whereas Wipr is not). privacyguides.org/browsers/#safari
