We already have Wipr 2 ( https://kaylees.site/wipr2.html ) on the App store which is a pretty dang great ad blocker and well worth the price.

Yeah, the ad situation really is so horrible it is worth paying to get out of it. Also supporting an inde dev to provide a useful app with the equivalent of a nice cup of coffee doesn't feel all that bad.

Is it better than Wipr 1? Because I paid for that one and it's kinda ... unsatisfactory.

Edit: at least compared to full uBlock Origin on desktop Firefox. No idea how good or bad are the other mobile solutions.

Most of the time i solve my mobile ad blocking needs by ... not browsing on mobile.

In all these years I haven’t found a better solution than DNS blocking with NextDNS on iOS. The only place I get ads is YT (but for that I have an Albanian VPN)

If you're in Europe, there's the newly launched DNS4EU project which is free for personal use, and also includes adblocking at the DNS level like NextDNS.

I use it in conjunction with Adguard and secure DNS, but they also publish configuration profiles for iOS.
