    iOS users have plenty of options here too

    • AdGuard Pro (paid)
    • AdGuard DNS (free)
    • other free dns blockers - NextDNS, ControlID etc
    • Safari addons
    • browsers with blocking built in (eg brave)
    • VPNs with ad blockers built in

    DNS and VPN blocks will work on most apps and all browsers.

    I prefer Asguard dns and then Safari extension or Brave

      I would not trust adguard as it is a russian company that nobody knows what it does to your data

        They are locsted in Cyprus, and in fairness, they’ve got a much better reputation than most privacy/security companies out there.

        Plus, depending on the service, adblocking is done locally.

          I mean adguardDNS. That can raise some questions. And as for Cyprus, many russian companies are based there just to avoid sanctions. That means nothing

            Of course, any DNS has the potential for abuse, but there’s no reason to not trust them vs any other DNS provider out there.

            Like I said, their reputation is stellar in the privacy world, and that means more to me than where they are located.
