#92Personally I’ve been using Brave browser on desktop and iOS. It has some of the best adblocking on mobile. Also use adguard pro which provides dns level filtering.
Re: uBlock Origin Lite in Apple App Store
#93I can'e even imagine browsing the web without ublock origin. How and Why Apple users endured it, I fail to comprehend.
Not everyone uses Safari. But even so there are plenty of capable ad blockers for it, uBlock Origin is far from the only option.
Re: uBlock Origin Lite in Apple App Store
#94The 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)
Does it work on YouTube ads?

#95I use NextDNS on my iphone. It works well but be warned it can break some apps so you'll need to do some allow-listing

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.
My favourite part is when it opens a form or something to fill out but if you navigate away from this in-app web view to another app and back (say to get a password) you lose the session. It’s incredibly frustrating
That's generally annoying though — web sites that can't preserve your session if you should click a link and then try to go back.

#97We 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.
Doesn’t look like it supports Family Sharing, is that right?
Re: uBlock Origin Lite in Apple App Store
#98I’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…

I’d think it was about tracking if I didn’t know that the ios api most apps use gives no access to what the user is doing. I feel like it must be some folk wisdom among app developers about “keeping people in the app”. It’s especially bad since the implementation always seems to struggle hard with self-links, eg if you open a web link in X then follow a link in the story to a tweet you get a broken result in most apps.

It has frustrated me for a LONG time that we have all collectively seemingly decide to break links. It used to be that you could click a link in an app, it opens in your web browser where you're already logged in to the relevant service, so you get to see the content the link points to. These days, you click a link in an app, it opens in an in-app web view where you're not logged in, so you just see a login screen. N…
This behavior (as far as I can tell) has broken the Expensify iOS app for us at work. We have a conditional access policy that requires a “compliant” device to succeed the SSO login. However, only the iOS Edge browser can prove compliance and Expensify refuses to hand over that login process to the Edge browser preferring to use its own built-in browser. So login fail and as far as I can tell there is nothing we can do about it except for exempt that app from the conditional access policies.

I wonder what iOS Edge does which iOS Safari doesn't do, considering both are just UIs over WebKit...
Not that it matters, it's still an excellent example of stuff not working because links don't work as links anymore.
