About Wipr 2 2.36.1 for Mac
Wipr 2 is a Safari content-blocking app developed by independent developer Kaylee Calderolla, built to block ads, popups, trackers, and cookie warnings across the web. Available as a universal app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision with a single purchase, Wipr 2 requires macOS 14.0 or later on Mac. A note on the requested version: the official App Store version history currently shows 2.36 as the most recent build, with no separate "2.36.1" release documented; nearby confirmed versions include 2.35.2, 2.35.1, and 2.35, all part of the app's frequent, ongoing update cadence. What sets Wipr apart from many free ad blockers is its strict "no acceptable ads" policy: since it's entirely funded by user purchases rather than advertiser payments, no company can pay to have its ads unblocked. The app uses Safari's native content-blocking API, meaning it requires no access to a user's actual browsing data to function, and its blocklist updates automatically twice a week to keep pace with the constantly changing web. Wipr 2 significantly expands on the original Wipr with over 100 times more "Extra" rules for handling site-specific quirks, plus Filtr, a newer add-on that extends ad and tracker blocking to all apps on a device at the network level, without functioning as or requiring a VPN.
