I recommend Vinegar:

I use this + AdGuard (Pro) which seems to work quite well together.

Does this have sponsorblock built in or work with the sponsorblock extension for safari?

Firefox Focus and Brave appear to still work.

edit: should clarify that FF Focus is its own browser and can also be used as a Safari extension.

***Nope. You have to use Android to get a decent ad-blocker.***

In all seriousness; iOS REQUIRES you to use DNS level or VPN level ad-blocking typically. I think the only notable exception is that some browser apps might allow extensions. iOS still requires you use Safari browser engine though AFAIK.

Better watch youtube from a piped instance.

Mullvad now has DoH configuration profiles with content blockers for IOS. If you actually want to select filters at a granular level, you can try Aha DNS Blitz.

I switched to Orion browser two weeks ago and it’s really good. Haven’t seen any ads on YouTube anymore, no ads on other sites either. I’ve made it my default browser. Only thing that doesn’t work for me is the consent-o-matic.
