What are some Safari extensions you yourself use and/or recommend?

I’ve been using Safari and it only ever since I switched back when the iPhone X came out and never looked back.

I got annoyed by advertisements pretty early and was looking for an adblocker that did not screw up the whole internet.

I’m using AdGuard ever since. It’s good, still blocks YouTube ads, but sadly does not let me read news since a lot of them want me to deactivate it, and news websites over here are quite annoyingly full of ads.

Second I use is Sink It. It makes the internet Reddit website behave a little bit okay-ish. Combined with ad-blocker it’s quite usable.

Third is Hush. A little open source app that kills cookies the way the internet keeps on working.

And the final one I use is honey. It hasn’t saved me a single penny yet, but maybe it might one day perhaps eventually.

I’m happy to read about what extensions you use!

    I use a few:

    • Adguard (blocking ads).
    • Vinegar (blocking YouTube ads and allows me to use iOS video player, with PiP, alongside other options like default video quality).
    • SponsorBlock (Skip YouTube ads. Works great without Vinegar, and just okay alongside Vinegar).
    • Baking Soda (like Vinegar, allows iOS default video player with other websites which are not YouTube related).
    • Userscripts (allows loading scripts into Safari. I mainly use them to bypass some paywalled articles, and restore the YouTube dislikes counter).
