I’ve finally picked up an iPhone about a month ago, and have been loving the experience.

However I’m now thrown into an ad-full world again (I used to have a browser blocking many if not most ads on the android), so I’m wondering, what adblockers do you use (may it be safari extension or entirely new browser for my fellow Europeans)?

Same, very happy with it, blocks everything, and also includes VPN.

Youtube ads are a bit tricky, but can also be blocked by opening videos through the AdGuard app.

Does it work for other browsers like Firefox?

What’s the difference between the pro and non-pro version?

I think you can’t add custom rules in the free version or something.

Wipr because it has no subscription bs and has proper block lists for my country.

This! Wipr on phone and Mac. Pi-Hole in my home network.

And for annoyances there’s also Consent-O-Matic and SponsorBlock installed.

I use Wipr in combination with NextDNS. For ads in Browsers and in Apps.

NextDNS is my latest approach and it’s working well.

NextDNS is the best choice imho.

Backing this post. NextDNS pretty much blocks everything, even ads in games. And in some games, you can tap the “watch ad to get X” and no ads show up, but you still get rewards.

1Blocker, but there are probably better/cheaper ones out there.

For YouTube specifically I can recommend Vinegar.

Don’t know if it’s better, but for free, Firefox Focus includes an ad-blocker for Safari.

I love Firefox Focus! The safari integration is great!

A DNS ad filter on your home network to black hole the requests to ad servers is the only thing I’ve found to be effective on iOS. I tried the ad guard extension in safari but there were just way too many ads that didn’t get blocked
