I've tried most of them from the App Store and all of them have the same issues. Pages load very slowly in Safari and over time they become less effective for blocking ads. Thanks in advance.
By design all ad blockers will slow page loads due to the way they have to parse web activity and determine what to display. In some cases, ad blockers when installed will cause other problems affecting the system and disrupts web surfing. Some blockers use blacklisting that has to be constantly updated to prevent future ads.
If you do not have Pop up windows blocked in Safari, then I would suggest doing that along with blocking Notifications. This will reduce a lot of the annoyance of ads without affecting system speed.
I've been using ABP from Adblock Plus for at least several years with neither of those issues.
DuckDuckGo browser solved both problems. It effectively blocked all popups and ads and is much faster than Safari.
Is there an ad blocker that actually works and doesn't slow down Safari?
