StopTheMadness is not an ad blocker, though it can auto-skip YouTube video ads.
I use Wipr, seen it recommended here before and seems to work pretty well!
Dumb question but does this work with Firefox? I swapped bc that’s what I use on desktop and I like it but I could use some more adblock
Firefox mobile can use addons. Downlaod ublock orgin

Try Brave Browser, it’s built in ad blocker is a beast. I switched every browser over to Brave.
Cool tip! 🙌 Might give Brave a shot too....How's your experience with Brave compared to other browsers?
I use AdGuard for free, it's not blocking every ads out there. But there are sites i didn't realized had ads bcs i didn't see them in the first place.
I use their dns based Adblock and it’s working flawlessly no app required just install the profile from their website.
I use AdGuard(pro, there was a lifetime deal a long time ago). It's great.

I have used AdGuard for years and it works great.

Me too. I don’t think I ever see ads, except on YouTube
Same for me, I pay for the pro version and it blocks all ads, including youtube ones, when using it in the browser.
I use Chrome, mostly because I am used to it from using Android so long. Safari seems to use Google, too, just adds ads.
Chrome is so buggy, slow, and ad-riddled on ios that it’s basically useless.

Google is an advertising company first and foremost. They're the worst offender by far when it comes to protecting your data.
1Blocker for paid blocking, Wipr for free.
Wipr is paid tho.
Why not stick to Safari's built-in features? Simpler is better.
I didn’t even know Safari had built-in ad-blocking features. How do you activate them?
Why not stick to Safari's built-in features?
Or why not even use a system wide ad blocker? Why block ads only in Safari?
Adguard is my go to
I also use their DNS to block adds in apps and it works flawlessly
Nextdns blocks mobile ads in games it’s so awesome
Adguard and Wipr are great out of the box ad blockers. I tried Magic Lasso and it was not that good.
I use Wipr and never see ads
Wipr works great for iOS and macOS.
I've been using Magic Lasso for a while now and have never had any issues. It blocks all ads without slowing down my browser.
Totally agree. It’s easy to set up too.
I got Hyperweb mostly for the dark mode on Safari, but have found their adblocker seems to work well too.
I don’t use any ad blockers. I just deal with the ads. I don’t want to risk any third-party apps accessing my data

This is the most crazy reason I've ever heard for not using an ad blocker. You realize most ad blockers block more than just Ads? You're actually protecting yourself from trackers, phishing, malware etc by using ad blockers.
Lol some ad blockers actually enhance privacy by blocking trackers. And literally every other app harvests your data
I use pihole + adguard and browsing has been ad free even on sketchy sites
Firefox focus as a safari plugin
I use AdGuard since it’s free and it works just fine!
Stop the Madness is decent, but I see some ads slip through.
Same here, it’s good but not perfect.
Whenever there’s ad in an article I refresh the page and quickly turn on the Reader Mode.
Bought Adguard. Think it was £4.99 for the year. It's blocked 99% of adverts and I am more than happy with it
I've used it for years on macOS and iOS and it's terrific. The free version is sufficient for most ads, but the upgrade enabled additional blocking behaviors, including custom blocking. The iOS version also comes with an app firewall that block ads in other iOS apps.

NextDNS.
Blocks Ads, Trackers, Malware, Phishing etc (ALL system wide, not just Safari)
Adguard (free)
I’ve been using AdGuard for years and never had any issues. I bought the pro version a while back but I believe the free version should work just as good.
nextDNS with adblock filters works wonders
privacyguides.org recommends adguard. I use their free option. In addition I also use NextDNS as a DNS based adblocker. I’m on the paid plan, but the free plan should be plenty for just your mobile devices’ Safari.

Use Orion and install ublock origin from the Firefox extension store, it doesnt fix safari but it is a very good mobile browser for iOS
