Orion browser is a bit better than Safari for adblocking but doesn’t solve the issue of other apps
Comment on uBlockOrigin is porting uBOL to iOS

Nice, the number of adblocking apps on iOS is rare. Most demand subscriptions and don’t do device wide adblocking, only in Safari. Only the old version of AdGuard Pro still does it, so I haven’t updated the app in years.

Wipr 2 is incredible and the dev is EXCELLENT

Agreed, but just to clarify as the above commenter said, it is safari-only. VPN based ad blockers are basically the only way to block ads throughout iOS and they are all subscription based unless you are grandfathered in (like the early adblocker pro subscription mentioned above).

I use a combo of Firefox Focus and Safari with Wipr 2 on my phone! Every other browser is WebKit under the hood so whatever, but I would LOVE Firefox with actual extensions and Firefox guts

I’ve been using Wipr for quite a while, a just set it and forget it kind of deal. I had no idea there was a v2. Will check it out this morning!

It’s soooo worth it, it blocks even more stuff like autoscrolling videos, Adblock shame popups, cookie banners, and more things.
