You can still block ads on a DNS level. Simply add, base.dns.mullvad.net as your primary DNS Server and that should do you a lot of good just there. I'm sure there are additional steps one could take as an iPhone user though.

AdGuard works just great for me on iOS.

It is, though. Safari has native support for 3rd party adblockers, it’s just that many people don’t know. AdGuard is one of the good options. Safari is doing the actual blocking for the most part (the extension just hands over the filterlists), but nowadays some of the adblockers include an optional extension that applies some rules for complex ads that are not supported by the Apple API, such as on YouTube. As an end user you just have to install and enable the adblocker.

Then there are also other browsers available with built-in adblockers. Admittedly those are all limited in some ways because they’re forced to use the same browser engine (outside of the EU), but they are very effective at blocking ads.

Magic Lasso. Ghostery. Both decent ad blockers for iOS.

And if you’re using the built in web browser, there’s reader mode that gets rid of most of this crap.

How is that not easy? Just install an adblocker from the App Store, there are plenty of options.

I use AdGuard pro it makes a local VPN to block ads similar to blokada or dns66 on android

It’s extremely easy, you just install AdGuard.

Brave? Firefox Focus? Safari with adguard extension?

Can iOS install FF? Legit question, Ive never owned an iPhone.

Set dns in your wifi network’s iPhone settings to manual and type in 176.103.130.130 and dns.adguard.com (or is it dns.adguard-dns.com)

I have a solution for this.
