@mipstian Working wonderfully on my iPhone and iPad. Blocks YT ads on these devices but still not on my Mac. No worries though, I have a workaround for Mac.

@gwcali @mipstian I haven't seen any YouTube ads on macOS 15.1. Do you think you might have some other extension which is meddling with the setup?

@vignub @gwcali Extra is probably not enabled. That’s half of my support responses right now: “please enable Wipr Extra” 🤷‍♀️

@mipstian @gwcali Perhaps, a small text on - how extra is optional but recommended to block ads on websites like YouTube - on the activate Wipr screen itself might help? Or will it make it look cluttered?

@vignub @gwcali I don’t wanna call out sites by name, especially ones I hate XD

@mipstian @vignub I do have Extra enabled. YT detects Wipr and I get the warning message. I did the log out, clear cache but the ad blocker detector comes back after 3-5 videos. It's weird that it's just my Mac and yet Wipr works perfectly on my iPhone and iPad 🤷🏻

@gwcali @vignub so the ads *are* blocked

@mipstian @vignub Huh? Anyway, I'm using a different blocker for Mac and sticking with Wipr2 on iPhone and iPad. Been using Wipr since 2018 and will keep using it.

@gwcali @vignub you’re getting detected, but you’re not seeing ads, correct? That’s a separate issue (also currently my top priority)

@mipstian With Wipr Extra disabled on YT, I see black playback for quite amount of time for what I assume is an ad playing.

@gwcali that is to be expected
