How many developers do you think would work even a single hour for that price tag?
I'm sure the app has at least 1000 paying subscribers? Take out Apple's 30% cut, and that's more than $10k a year.
This beta is full :(((
The code's all open source: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/e33bfc1f0176e56d479f0... Just build your own copy, give apple $100/year for a developer license, move to a country in the EU, and then you can "sideload" this open-source code onto your device. You also need something running macOS.
On this topic, I have to recommend Hush! It is an excellent free, open-source and well-maintained app for iOS. https://oblador.github.io/hush/
iOS Safari 18.5, installed and enabled in both normal and private modes. Opened a private tab and navigated to youtube.com - got cookie consent regardless. Closed every app, restarted safari fully - same results. Same on google maps. Uninstalled.

Look like that costs money though?
It's absolutely bonkers that an adblocker needs to cost $15/year, when the actual filter lists are maintained by volunteers and there's (presumably) very little in the way of code changes needed.
uBlock is fantastic at what it does. I'm looking forward to this. I'm currently using both Wipr 2 and AdGuard together which has worked well. AdGuard allows user defined cosmetic filters that I've come to rely on more and more in the browser, and it makes certain mobile sites so much better. Will uBlock on iOS support this?
I run only Wipr2 and am happy with it, even if its $5 vs free, I'm happy to support a dev who makes a great app. I'll try UBOL for iOS when its available.
Nothing wrong with either, but damn the value equation is out of wack to me, it's just so worth it.
To wit:
It is 2025 and you cannot configure a DoH endpoint in Safari on either iOS or OSX.
Further, enabling DoH in iOS involves an experts-only plist file download which has many esoteric failure modes that are difficult to track and have poor (nonexistent ?) documentation.
Finally, any regular person (like my wife) will have an almost immediate need to toggle adblocking DNS on and off for (weird site that breaks) but, of course, that is not possible without going through the entire plist file workflow twice (once to remove (not disable) the existing profile and once to re-download it).
Ridiculous. Embarrassing.
It is deeply disappointing how poorly Apple implements privacy tools and technologies. To wit: It is 2025 and you cannot configure a DoH endpoint in Safari on either iOS or OSX.

I might be misunderstanding your problem, but if you want to easily switch DNS there is an iOS app I was using. Sadly, don’t remember what it was called, but I’m sure an AppStore search will yield possible solutions
