What ad blocker do you use on your iPhone?

BigVault, 10 months ago

Pihole on my Debian system with PiVPN WireGuard server.

Safari extensions:
Vinegar to block YouTube ads in Safari. I don’t use the app at all.
Banish to stop websites showing those annoying “open in the app” pop ups.

Ad and nag free bliss.

Almost the same config but instead of pihole I use adguardhome and for extensions I also have SponsorBlock for YouTube

I use Adguard as well, especially when I let my YT premium lapse, their extension to play a video PIP with no ads from the share sheet is awesome.

Wait, AdGuard has an extension for that?

Firefox focus. It can be set as ad blocker not just as a history deleting browser. I use Firefox as my main browser on ios, but I don’t really see ads anywhere phone-wide

Adguard DNS

NextDNS. Setup on my router so it hits all devices.

Adguard pro along with adguard home.

Brave Browser, by far the best and so customizable. Many people don’t check settings but on mobile view the security > filters and you can enable the mobile YT script blocks for more ad-blocking and clearer look!

And I use Proton VPN w/ Block Ads, Trackers & Malware, but not really required.

In thought Brave was sold and is considered primary spyware now?

KrisND, 10 months ago

Nope, but I’ve noticed especially firefox has done a fair amount of bashing – because its better and from one of their own.

If we’re talking adblock, brave is top dog imo. But if were talking top privacy and security then we’d be using tor browser in Tails or Qubes OS and then some.

There are many popular apps that is/could be spyware. Jusy like the feds trying to ban TikTok.

Question everything, trust no one.

Another AdGuard user here. I’ve got the paid pro version that allows DNS blocking system wide via the VPN profile method but if you’re just looking for Safari only the free version is good.

Adguard for Safari is good. I switched to Brave recently as well though.

Seconding AdGuard . It’s really working well for me.

Ad Guard in Safari. When you get a site that says you are being naughty, you flip to “Show Reader” to bypass.

Then install Sink It and you’ll miss out on all the cookie prompts and bs, including Reddit asks to install app (I no longer have an account there).

Adguard on desktop seems to be working well for me, but is entirely useless on mobile for some reason

Tygr, 10 months ago

Once installed, you have to configure it in Settings > Safari > Extensions. Make sure it’s all turned on and enabled.

Adguard plus iCloud Private Relay is hard to beat for me.
