Yes and no.
It works flawlessly on the Mac I'm currently using, but on my work laptop, it suddenly stopped working some time ago.
I tried debugging it, but I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.
After disabling and enabling all the AdGuard filters it seems to be working again.
Hm... Strange.
What you can try to do is to add the following user rule:
#%#console.log("Hello world!");
This should run on ALL websites and print "Hello world" in the javascript console.
You can access the javascript console through the Safari menu: Develop
→ Show JavaScript Console
or by pressing ⌥-⌘-c (option-command-c). (You might have to enable web inspector for this to work, see instructions here.)
I noticed that this rule ran on every website, except for Wikipedia. So I simply tried enabling/disabling extensions and the various rules in AdGuard. All of a sudden it just started to work.
Note: After changing the user rules, you need to open a new window for the rule to be active.
No luck.
With the 'hello world' trick I see the same results as you – that rule runs on every website except for Wikipedia. The only way I can get it to run on Wikipedia is if I disable (and keep disabled) the AdGuard Base filter, but I want to keep that enabled for the sake of my sanity. I guess it's an AdGuard bug... Nevertheless, thanks for your help!
Somehow the AdGuard Base filter was disabled for me as well...
I'll try to file an issue with AdGuard and see how to resolve this.
I am now using AdGuard for Safari version 1.8.2 with the base filter activated and it seems to be working! fingers crossed
Thanks for the tip, this is great 👍
I also had some issues enabling it, but after enabling/disabling the adguard base list it seems to now work
I just discovered that they have a specific repo for their lists, so I added an issue there: AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#79855
EDIT:
Well that was fast. Someone replied immediately and solved it!
The first line removes the basefilter from Wikipedia and allows the second rule to run. And hence, redirect any wikipedia article to wikiwand.

It works, it works! Thanks a bunch!
Hi, does this still work for you? I can only get it to work with the AdGuard Base filter disabled. Do you know of a way to keep the filter enabled and have the redirect work? Thanks!
