Hi, I've been using AdGuard but I noticed that it wasn't blocking google search ads recently. Then I switched to 1Blocker, which also misses Google search ads. Which ad blocker do you use? Does it work well with filtering out google search ads?

I use 1Blocker and don't see Google search ads. Could you provide a screenshot?

I've been using AdGuard for Mac for a few years now, and it's easily one of the best ad blockers I've ever used. I don't think it's missing Google search ads? But on the other hand, I don't usually use Google as a search engine. A quick check and it seems working ok here. Can you maybe post an example screen cap of what you mean?

EDIT: I should point out that AdGuard has 2 separate blockers... "AdGuard Ad Blocker", aka "AdGuard for Mac" and "AdGuard for Safari". The latter is a simpler extension for Safari, which I stopped using a few years ago due to bugginess stemming from how Apple started locking things down in macOS. AGM works great.

I can't get any adblocker to work on this site with Safari. Not sure if the site is the problem or my set up. How many adblockers can you put on a mac studio? Edge, Duck, and Firefox all block the ads on this site. Mods, if this is not appropriate please delete post. Thanks....
