Currently I use 1Blocker but I will switch to AdGuard. Somehow 1Blocker doesn’t work properly for me anymore
I’ve been using AdGuard for some time. It works really well for me.
I was using AdGuard for some time, until it started giving me some trouble. VPN would randomly disconnect, I’d have to reboot my phone, etc. In all honesty, I probably wasn’t patient enough with it. I’ve been using 1Blocker for a bit, now, and it’s been treating me well.

I used to be a big wipr fan but it’s been letting a lot of ads through and won’t seem to block cookie annoyances. Switched to AdGuard and have been very happy with
I’m also using Wipr and haven’t had much problem with it. The only issue I get is I sometimes have to manually tell it to update the blocklist.
Pi-hole for my whole network, I can WireGuard into it when I’m away.
Yep, exactly what I do. Has the advantage of also blocking in-app ads and some of Apple’s data collection. It also gives you complete control over what you block and don’t block, lets you see stats etc. Can’t really be beat.
AdGuard on the iphone and nextdns.io for DNS is a very effective combo. I also use StopTheMadness to eliminate a lot of annoyances, especially google’s shitty amp links.
Adguard plus iCloud Private Relay is hard to beat for me.

For safari i use Firefox Klar and Hyperweb as Extensions.
Other than that I have a raspberry pi running WireGuard and Pi-hole, which my phone is constantly connected to. This provides extra security (as all my traffic is encrypted) and privacy. Pi-hole filters out ad and tracking domains.
Ad Guard in Safari. When you get a site that says you are being naughty, you flip to “Show Reader” to bypass.
Then install Sink It and you’ll miss out on all the cookie prompts and bs, including Reddit asks to install app (I no longer have an account there).
Adguard on desktop seems to be working well for me, but is entirely useless on mobile for some reason
Once installed, you have to configure it in Settings > Safari > Extensions. Make sure it’s all turned on and enabled.
I’ve been using Wipr, but the cookie notice blocking is breaking quite a few sites now
Hush does a great job blocking nags Wipr misses: https://apps.apple.com/app/hush-nag-blocker/id1544743900
Oh I own that, but haven’t used it in years. I’ll give it another go
I use the ad blocking built into Proton VPN. That way my traffic stays private and no ads/trackers.
Proton VPN is rather pricey if you use their ad blocker, I thought about giving it a go but the price turns me off.
I pay for their whole suite, so the VPN is part of the subscription.
You can use ProtonVpn (for host blocking) and the free AdGuard app for Safari content blocking 👌🏼
Honestly the best way I’ve found
I use a pihole on my network with a VPN for when I’m out and about

NextDNS. Setup on my router so it hits all devices.
Seconding AdGuard . It’s really working well for me.
Pihole on my Debian system with PiVPN WireGuard server.
Safari extensions:
Vinegar to block YouTube ads in Safari. I don’t use the app at all.
Banish to stop websites showing those annoying “open in the app” pop ups.Ad and nag free bliss.
I use Brave browser, which has ad and tracker blocking built in.
I also have all my devices using a piHole for ad, malware, and tracker protection.
