Top alternatives to Tumblr Savior for Safari users in 2026
1. Wipr 2 (content blocker + simple element hiding)
- Why: Lightweight, Safari-native filters; blocks ads, trackers, cookie nags and custom elements.
- Best for: Set-and-forget blocking with minimal performance impact.
- Install from the App Store / Safari Extensions Gallery.
2. 1Blocker (fine-grained element & rule control)
- Why: Custom rule sets, whitelist/blacklist per site, importable filters; works across Apple devices.
- Best for: Users who want precise control over what gets hidden on Tumblr pages.
3. AdGuard for Safari (advanced filtering + element rules)
- Why: Powerful filtering engine, custom CSS/element blocking, desktop companion for rule editing.
- Best for: Power users who want deep customization and cross-device rule management.
4. Hush / Banish (annoyance & overlay removers)
- Why: Target cookie banners, login prompts, “open in app” overlays and other intrusive UI elements that can disrupt browsing.
- Best for: Cleaner Tumblr/mobile link browsing where overlays are the main problem.
5. StopTheMadness Pro (restore browser controls)
- Why: Re-enables right-click, copy/paste, keyboard shortcuts and stops sites from forcing behaviors that break extensions.
- Best for: When site scripts interfere with content-blocking or with Safari’s normal behavior.
Quick setup tips
- Use one primary content blocker (Wipr 2 or 1Blocker) + one annoyance tool (Hush/Banish).
- Add custom element rules (CSS selectors/keywords) to block specific Tumblr post elements or tags.
- If a site breaks, disable extensions for that domain and re-enable rules incrementally.
If you want, I can create step-by-step instructions to replicate Tumblr Savior’s blacklist behavior in any one of these (e.g., add keyword rules in 1Blocker or AdGuard).
