I've tried for years to master vim, but still fall back to old habits. I have gotten to the point where single file editing is faster in vim than in IntelliJ, but still haven't figured out the mysteries of vim buffers and multi-file editing.

I'm a big fan of AdGuard as well, and the ability to customize what I block and what I don't block is why I use it. It's a sort of fire-and-forget application for me though. Once I had the basic lists that I knew to work for me setup and my upstream DNS set to NextDNS (or any adblocking DNS) it covered all of my use-cases. That said, Wipr tries really hard to balance removing ads without breaking stuff, and if it works I'd definitely recommend sticking with it. You can get almost the same effect of "system-wide" adblocking by just using a DNS server that blocks ads.
