For context, I’m on an iPhone using Firefox. I can’t use uBlock Origin, but am ready to block on the DNS level after this.

    Anyway, on iPhone i used to use reader mode to filter all that crap.

    Why not just use an adblocker?

        Weird, because the adblocker on my iPhone seems to be working perfectly.

        iPhone has had support for ad blockers since 2015.

          How so? All Browsers on ios are just skins for safari. Unless you are counting jailbreaking the device first

            So? Safari has had built in adblocker support since iOS 9.

            I use AdGuard myself and it works flawlessly.

              Just dug around the Safari settings on my (fairly old) device, i cant seem to find any extensions or addons. Though i believe you of course, a quick web search suggests so too. Perhaps my device isnt supporting them, its an old iphone x i think (or 8?)

                You need to install an ad blocker from the app store. This one works well for me.

                Start the app to select the blocking rulesets

                Enable it in Settings > Safari > Extensions and Settings > Safari > Content blockers
