I have been using Wipr2, 100/100 on my adblock testing.

I’m using it too for now, but considering stopping. afaik the tool is not open source (even if it is, still happy to pay for the app), and to me feels a bit too magical and makes me uneasy. I have no idea what it’s downloading, what lists it’s fetching, what kind of content it’s blocking, what it’s blocking on a specific site, whether some site is broken because of it, or even if it’s working at all. I do like how in ublock (or brave), it shows some info like number of things blocked on current site. And then in ublock you can go arbitrarily deep into logs / custom blocking etc.

For Wipr 2, on macOS you can see the rules here: `~/Library/Group Containers/group.wipr2.rules/Rules/` in the JSON files. Kaylee (Wipr dev) sources the blocker list data from these [0] sources.
