Best of luck, but not for me

Wipr’s one‑time purchase always felt dependable, so hearing that Wipr (Legacy) will be discontinued at the end of March is frustrating. It also makes me hesitant to pay for Wipr 2 if it might later be replaced by Wipr 3 and so on.

Scammy developer

Creates a “new” app that’s 2x the price and ends support for the “old” app. Will block and never support them again. Use wBlock for far superior ad blocking

dev gave up on this in hopes to cash in on a new version. no offer for owners of the first version

Shady developer

Does not block ads anymore.

Why is there a new paid version for a safari extension that does the same thing? And why is this one being discontinued?
