Yep I’ll be honest never used one. I’ve had ad blocking on my android for probably a decade and it was a struggle for the average android user to have it up till a couple years ago. The walled garden of apple I assumed the ad blocking was just as hard and likely harder than doing it on android.
Yeah iOS has had native support for content blocking since iOS 9 back in 2015. You just install any ad blocker you want from the App Store and you get full desktop style ad blocking in Safari. Also of course you can use DNS based as blocking as well to block ads in apps etc.
I imagine there is a big conflict of interest from Google with Android ad blocking since they’re essentially an advertising company and run by far the biggest ad network in the world. I’m kind of surprised Android supports it at all to be honest, but good to hear there’s good support now.
