1Blocker has worked tremendously well for me for what feels like a decade now.

Project page should be this?!?

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

It’s by the man himself (gorhill)

Is this any better than AdGuard?

I’ve heard it’s best to avoid running both but unsure whether this version of uBlock is worth it.

Adguard works better right now, at least for my purposes.

I'm not sure why, but uBO Lite randomly stops working at times. I've had to fire up the test page (https://ublockorigin.github.io/uBOL-home/tests/test-filters....) many times after enabling experimental filters, but it just doesn't seem to "stick."

uBlock is open source. Some people might object AdGuard Russian foundation, but they have distanced themselves from the conflict and employ people in Ukraine.

Works fine so far! I wish they could add the main settings in the app view but that’s a minor point

Works on MacOS as well. Not just iOS.

Yes, but adblocking options on iOS are way more limited so it is more notable.

Nice, seems to work pretty well

Can we get a link directly to the project instead of this testflight page?

The project page newsworthy isn’t newsworthy in any obvious way on its own, though of course anyone (including OP) could post a link to it as a helpful comment. An iOS beta signup link for it is surprising news, though!

The news is "uBlock Origin Lite Beta for Safari iOS" not "uBlock Origin Lite exists"
