And as a bonus : possibility to keep music videos playing while changing app. (A parameter has to be switched for that though)
I’ve been using uBlock Origin Lite on iOS for several months now, but one shortcoming I see with the newer WebExtensions implementation in Safari is that WebExtensions can’t be used with the in-app Safari views, meaning extensions such as this one don’t work with in-app Safari views. There was an older Safari content blocker API that did work with the in-app Safari views, but it seems like apps are being updated to s…
As a side note, I personally HATE apps that opens links in an in-app web view (apps like Instagram, Facebook, etc). I really wish Apple could have a system wide preference where it could force in-app web views to open in the browser.

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. https://www.joindns4.eu/ https://www.joindns4.eu/dns-guidelines
Humm they only mention wifi. Can't do it on [3-4-5]G?
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.

Did some research on this DNS since it seemed promising. Apparently they rely on non-EU services? https://cybernews.com/security/european-independent-dns-reli...
I want to say though, that the initiative is sponsored by the EU and has privacy preservation as one of it's main objectives, so until proven, i will assume that this is all circumstantial.
For me at least, it solves exactly the use case i was previously using NextDNS for, which was basically DNS level ad blocking, and while i still have a NextDNS subscription, my previous months of testing have proven DNS4EU to be more stable and slightly faster responding than NextDNS (for my usage).

I think this is sarcastic? I mean I pay on several websites to not see ads, so it (paying to remove ads) seems like the normalest thing. And it should be the normalest thing. The only weird thing here is that we pay a party that is not the one serving the ads, so the primary misses income from ads and potentially paying customers. But I suspect that is what you meant with your remark. Moreover, paying on every websit…
You are enabling them and paying them for using ads. How is that the "normalest" or even normal thing to do? How do you expect them to stop showing ads if not only the ads themselves work, but even the ones who don't click ads pay them for having ads (to not show them, but ultimately it is for them having ads)?

> There was an older Safari content blocker API that did work with the in-app Safari views, but it seems like apps are being updated to stop using it. Which apps are being updated to stop using it? The difference is simply that the Safari content blocker API is Apple-specific, so it can be used only on iOS and macOS, whereas uBlock Origin Lite uses the cross-platform DeclarativeNetRequest API, because uBlock Origin L…
The lack of proper adblocker on iOS is what convinced me to use the Brave browser instead of Firefox or Safari. An adblocker is included by default. And as a bonus : possibility to keep music videos playing while changing app. (A parameter has to be switched for that though)
