As always please do your own testing but thought I would share my findings.A new release is always good news. However, the inability for Safari on MacOS to utilize these programs properly not only hinders its performance but can cause issues with YouTube and other various websites which may even inhibit your ability to do things like make successful purchases online (personal experience).
It was good to see that iOS Safari worked well with these extensions and if Adblock Plus allowed for filter selections I'm sure it would have scored similar.īottom Line AdGuard has proven to be one of, if not the best, free adblock utility currently out and consistently produces quality results regardless of platform. Safari (iOS): Similar to Safari for MacOS, AdGuard maintains its ability to be full featured and scores a 93 while Adblock Plus is yet again relegated to almost nothing and scores a 33. It was very evident Safari didn't know what to do. Adblock Plus was completely neutered and allowed no customization of its filters resulting in a score of around 30. While AdGuard had almost identical filters as its Chrome counterpart Safari produced a score of around 41. Safari (MacOS): This is where things took a turn due to Safari's poor ability to integrate extensions of this nature. The biggest difference was that Adblock Plus blocked Google ads which AdGuard did not. Below are the findings.Ĭhrome (MacOS): AdGuard scored a 91 out of 100 on this test. The final two received more advanced testing using an adblock testing site called Toolz by d3ward. I did this to quickly weed out the poorest performers and the two left standing were AdGuard and Adblock Plus (acceptable ads were disabled). I enabled as many features each program allowed, so no premium/paid features, and ran basic website test utilizing each programs ability to tell me how many ads were blocked. I got bored so I started testing various adblockers using Chrome and Safari with the main goal being it had to be obtainable for Safari, Chrome, and iOS Safari.
