    I am quite surprised, this works on my iPad as well not just my Linux laptop!

    Thank you for the user script!

    P.s. If you need the Safari Mobile extension it can be found on the App Store as well as GitHub and is GPL licensed

      I didn’t know you u guys had extensions in iOS browsers! First time I see that. You could install an adblocking user script maybe? I thought iOS was ad hell. Gives me a bit of hope.
