@mipstian Hello, I recently launched the Wipr app đ”for the first time in foreverđ” and was surprised it needed a block list update. A Help notification thingy also advised not quitting the app from the switcher.
After refreshing, some niggling ads leaking through went away.
This makes me rethink how I interact with Wipr. Should I be in the habit of launching it from time to time? (Or, perhaps, have a shortcut automation to launch it after any restart?)
@mipstian I think Iâm forever confused by the distinctions between the app-as-interface and the browser extension(s).
Like, if I use it all the time and update from App Store routinely, why would the refresh have been lagging?
(Sorry to be That User)
@atlauren Apple has tried really hard to kill the idea of a browser extension and wrap everything in an app, but lots of users (I suspect those who have been using extensions before the App Store) are resisting.
You donât use Wipr all the time Iâm assuming, youâre using Safari. Which has no consequence on whether Wipr can refresh in the background.
Sometimes people ask me how do you uninstall Wipr Legacy and when I say âlike any other appâ they donât believe me đ€·ââïž
