does it help to install more than 1 safari extension for blocking ads?

Was wondering if you install more than 1 Safari adblocker extension, do the adblockers add together? or is really only 1 adblocker active while the rest just look like they are turned on?


I currently am using Safari 15 and Big Sur

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6

Hey allGodsglory,


We see you have some questions about ad blocker extensions in Safari.


In general, its not advised to run more than one ad blocker or any extension that perform similar tasks as they can start to slow the browser down. Not to mention as most of the time they'll be attempting to do the same thing, it may lead to unexpected issues.


That said, if you do have two or more ad blockers specifically that you want to run together, we'd recommend reaching out to the app developer for confirmation on if their ad blocker is designed with that in mind.


Take care.
