  > The experience is so awful when I browse on my iPad, instead of my Android phone with Firefox+UBlock. I really don't understand how most people can stand to browse with all the ads.

  Most people don’t.

  Most people who use anything for iOS tend to use things like:

  - 1Blocker - super full featured, including custom script and css rules. business model is paid software, not ‘acceptable ads’ paying them for placement or third parties paying for your data

  - AdGuard Pro - Similar to 1Blocker, less custom config friendly

  - https://nextdns.io/ - pihole type blocker with unlimited configurations, custom rules, and analytics, native hooks for devices

  - https://adguard-dns.io/ - similar service to nextdns.io with ability to upload your own rules based configurations

  - Firefox Focus if using that ecosystem

  - Brave if using that ecosystem

  - iCab Mobile if wanting a super configurable browser with filter rules and longest history as indie browser for iOS

  We also use ancillary quieters such as:

  - Hiya - call / sms blocking

  - Hushed - throwaway numbers for spam SMS
