I’m discovering a new OS and I feel like I need to learn everything from scratch. I don’t even know which ad block to use.

The first thing I did opening Safari was to search for Ublock Origin. But it is not available anymore since 2019 :-(

      I know there Android privacy guide but until then I never thought of looking for IOS content. Thank you.

      Also the link is for Linux privacy guide but they have indeed the IOS privacy guide on the same chanel.

    I use Adblock plus, Ghostery and 1Blocker for fingerprinting as Safari extensions for iOS and Mac. They do an alright job for fingerprinting and do well with ads. Just make sure to go into Adblock plus and disable “allowable ads” so that none break through.

    I’d say the better iOS browser is Snow Haze. Unfortunately iOS blocks a lot of the privacy stuff to conform with its guidelines so the locked down Firefox derivatives aren’t as strong as on android. Snow haze is the only privacy browser I know that works within the iOS confines and maximizes it. They also have an extension for Firefox if you want to go that route.

    I stopped using chromium based browsers, so others may have recs on those.

    Good luck with privacy there. At minimum disable the AI stuff that has access to every app, and that’s if you believe their toggles do anything, which Apple has been proven to not listen to them in the past

    Wipr 2 is a great paid ad blocker. Unfortunately most iOS blockers don’t work too well beyond this one and AdGuard (and I haven’t had the greatest experience with the latter either)
