For context, I’m on an iPhone using Firefox. I can’t use uBlock Origin, but am ready to block on the DNS level after this.

I recently switched from iPhone to Android, and let me tell you it is ridiculous how much more control you have over your user experience. Adblock alone made it worthwhile.

Anyway, on iPhone i used to use reader mode to filter all that crap. Though some asshole sites block the function

    Why not just use an adblocker?

    Weird, because the adblocker on my iPhone seems to be working perfectly.

    iPhone has had support for ad blockers since 2015.

    How so? All Browsers on ios are just skins for safari. Unless you are counting jailbreaking the device first

    So? Safari has had built in adblocker support since iOS 9.

    I use AdGuard myself and it works flawlessly.

    Just dug around the Safari settings on my (fairly old) device, i cant seem to find any extensions or addons. Though i believe you of course, a quick web search suggests so too. Perhaps my device isnt supporting them, its an old iphone x i think (or 8?)
