What adblocker are you using on iOS? (programming.dev)

I’ve finally picked up an iPhone about a month ago, and have been loving the experience.

However I’m now thrown into an ad-full world again (I used to have a browser blocking many if not most ads on the android), so I’m wondering, what adblockers do you use (may it be safari extension or entirely new browser for my fellow Europeans)?

Do Vinegar actually work? I tried it previously and it didn't do anything for me, tried it again now since it was mentioned and YouTube ads still appear in Safari..

It works for me, it's a bit janky though because of YouTube's custom link handler. You have to either open videos in new tabs or reload the page after clicking the video for it to load correctly.

Tbh I don't actually know if it's supposed to remove ads, I use it to get the better (Safari built in) video player that can do Picture in Picture and what not.

Could it be localized?

What do you mean?

Could its function be based upon blocklists that are localized as in different for different region

I don't think YouTube does anything for that to be necessary, but I could be wrong.

Vinegar worked for me but I had issues with YouTube throttling it and the video constantly restarting
