It also amazes me that people are using the internet w/o an adblocker in the year 2025

    I haven’t bothered working out how to install one on mobile. I just don’t visit websites with shitty ads.

      Just use the Brave browser. No plugins necessary.

        It has poor compatibility on the iOS version that I've got installed, sadly.

      Firefox on mobile supports uBlock Origin

        On iOS, every browser is required by Apple to use WebKit. I just tried it again myself and FireFox on iPhone has no ublock Origin add on possibility.

        Firefox Focus does work as an alternative.

        Apple created a special system-level API for Safari Content Blockers. Apps like Firefox Focus, AdGuard, 1Blocker, Wipr can register filtering rules with Safari using this API. That’s why Focus can block ads/trackers inside Safari if you enable it under Safari

    i was also in shock, then someone reminded me there are iphone users.

    the horror.

    paying thousands of dollars just to be forbidden to block ads.

      ?

      There are countless free and paid options on iOS too

      Firefox Focus, Brave

      AdGuard Pro, $9.99 once and you can use any blocklist you want (you can just copypaste from uBlock Origin if you wish) and it works system-wide with Safari

      etc

With UblockOrigin blocking the ads, there were no ads and pop-ups.
