Just installed (enabled under Settings->Safari->Ad blockers) and it doesn't work at all on some sites I tried.

From what I know, it never will as long as Apple only allows shitty request inspection with allow/deny result. It just cannot work nowhere near as well as uBlock Origin.

You mean if Apple adds the ability to add standard web extensions?

Have you tried initing or refreshing the filters?

Adguard’s blocking is quite potent I.e. YouTube ads don’t play
