Sorry if this question has been asked already, is there any free ad blocks for iOS no subscription?
For system wide adblocking : Configure adguard public DNS Connect to public AdGuard DNS server (use method 2 to install the DNS profile)
For browser : Use brave browser or install adguard free version for safari (I recommend using brave browser since free version of adguard will not block YouTube ads on Safari)
Adblock Luna VPN blocks ads on iOS in the official YouTube app.
Adguard is where it’s at for safari
IOS you don’t have any great options, but here are some that have worked. Either view it in a browser Adguard+Safari, Brave, or Opera. A VPN is another option, I heard Luna VPN works, though haven’t tested myself. You can also sideload to get a very similar experience to Revanced (which is the best but only on Android) with uYou+ or other options, but you need to resign it each week to keep it working unless you are able to install Trollstore, I use SideStore or Sideloadly to sideload.
I’m not a smartphone user myself, but I understand that that is unavoidable for ordinary users. Apple (Google is no different) “sells” its app programmers an assurance that the end user can’t tamper with their apps, and allowing a systemwide adblock would seriously violate that promise, so it’s not allowed.
The only thing that sort-of works for smartphones is the “Pi Hole” approach, where the smartphone is pointed at a pretend “VPN” that deliberately man-in-the-middles so that adservers can’t get found. When you run a smartphone adblocker, you are basically renting the equivalent of a “Pi Hole” from the company that supplied the “adblocker”, and you need to continually pay them for use of that server.
The only escape would be to administrate your own VPN server at home, which requires some expertise.
Note that if you are smart enough to do the above, it would be much preferable. The normal approach puts the adblocker provider in a great position to spy on you. You are giving them exactly the trust that Google argues (in the desktop context, through their M3 design) no user should be allowed to give uBO…
Can I sideload on 17.3? It´s my first iphone so im kinda lost, there´s lot of terms and technical stuff
It stutters from time to time but I’ve been using it for months and it’s probably the only one in existence that works for iPhone. It works for a bunch of other apps too, but not all of them. For example i don’t get ads on YouTube or Pinterest
But I still see promotions on Reddit and X/Twitter. Highly recommend either way. Instructions provided.
im not sure if you can help with this but when i try to follow the tutorial my settings doesn’t look like theirs does as it’s without the “profile donwloaded” button, howd you do it?
I have no idea!! It just works. It does well at blocking ads in a bunch of third party apps too - for example, I can’t watch an ad to get extra tokens in 8 ball pool bc Luna blocks it! There’s a bunch of others too. I stand by it.
