You can still block ads on a DNS level. Simply add, base.dns.mullvad.net as your primary DNS Server and that should do you a lot of good just there. I’m sure there are additional steps one could take as an iPhone user though.
Don’t have an IPhone so wouldn’t know, but that does seem annoying indeed. It is possible to just change your DNS on the router instead. And or use a VPN that also includes a different DNS.
I’ve used this for several months and just switched to Mullvad DNS. It blocked ads on pretty much everything. Between that, using a VPN, and uBlock on Firefox, my mobile browsing experience is pretty nice.
That’s not exactly easy on an iPhone
Edit: I guess I was wrong

I didn’t know Mullvad did a DNS service as well as a VPN, let alone that it has some ad blocking profiles. Thanks for that!
Jupp and it’s all open for the public to use. They have different DNS too, for blocking different things: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls
This must be done at each network’s settings doesn’t it? At least I can’t see an option in iOS to use a DNS system wide, like we have in Android.
True, unfortunately. Rather annoying

AdGuard works just great for me on iOS.
Magic Lasso. Ghostery. Both decent ad blockers for iOS.
And if you’re using the built in web browser, there’s reader mode that gets rid of most of this crap.
I use AdGuard pro it makes a local VPN to block ads similar to blokada or dns66 on android
How is that not easy? Just install an adblocker from the App Store, there are plenty of options.
It’s extremely easy, you just install AdGuard.
I have a solution for this.
Set dns in your wifi network’s iPhone settings to manual and type in 176.103.130.130 and dns.adguard.com (or is it dns.adguard-dns.com)

Brave? Firefox Focus? Safari with adguard extension?
Can iOS install FF? Legit question, Ive never owned an iPhone.
Not real FF. iOS forces all mobile browsers to use safari under the hood, though that was just made illegal in the EU, so there’s changes coming.
I’m using Firefox in the picture. Add-ons aren’t allowed on iOS though, otherwise I would have all of these blocked.
Orion allows you to install extensions. It works so-so, but that’s a first step.
