Inb4 “you can’t block ads on an iPhone”. Wipr2 for $4.99, independent developer, active on the Fediverse (Mastodon). uBlock Origin Lite for free, slightly less capable. Both only work on Safari. Adguard Pro is $10 and uses a “VPN” to block ads. Sometimes it doesn’t work. (It used to be $1, that’s what I paid for it.) I use Wipr2 now and I’ve uninstalled apps that serve ads like IMDb and YouTube. I just access them in Safari now.
Of course Advertise with uBlock Origin in Firefox is the better option. And it doesn’t autocorrect iPhone to something else like my iPhone just did when I tried to type the name of a rival platform. That’s not a typo, that’s an iPhone feature, and it can’t be disabled. (I can go back and manually fix it, but the fact that it does it at all is pretty bad.)
Imagine paying money to block ads.
So you work for free? Or you just expect others to? You should tell your boss or the company you work for your opinion on economics.
Not sure what you're so mad about. There are paid options and free options. You're upset that paid options exist alongside free options?
lol what are you talking about? I am not "mad" about anything. I just think it is ridiculous to pay money to block ads, when there are tons of free ad blockers available.
