I don’t know how much Apple’s “endorsement” here actually means. Safari claims it has access to all webpages and all information they display to me, so I imagine this could be quite a privacy nightmare if the dev isn’t trustworthy. But again, it’s free so I have no idea how seriously those guys take the user’s privacy or how they block. Tap Hide Page Element and wait for the page. It’s got all the stuff I think I’d need and it appears to be simple and work well. Removing that is easy: In Safari, tap the Share button, then tap 1Blocker (you might need to scroll over to More to enable it if you haven’t already). It’s an extension for Safari actually being advertised on Apple’s Safari extensions website. On the Mac she’s using AdGuard with Safari. A notification about access to your history and site data is automatically generated, because 1Blocker is launched on each tab. Last update was a year ago so no idea if it’s sill being developed/maintained. Note: Unobtrusive ads are not blocked to support websites. It’s free too, so I’m not sure they’re not selling me or my data, let alone allowing some ads to be displayed (for revenue obviously). From what I can tell it also offers support for whitelisting, but there does not appear to be a way to quickly activate/deactivate while browsing. It’s very simple to use and it can load different language blockers which is nice if you also frequent a lot of foreign websites.

On the iPhone she has AdBlock (by BetaFish Inc). The most popular ad blocker for Chrome and Safari, now available for Firefox Block all advertisements on all web pages, even Facebook, Youtube, and Hulu. I bet there are actually browsers out there with good built-in ad blocking, but since Apple doesn’t let you chose another alternate browser as default on iOS, my main interest is in using Safari. Whether you're a developer, an entrepreneur, or an entire website-building team, this multipurpose solution can be used to enhance privacy, speed up the browsing experience, and even boost productivity. Yes, the original question pertains to Safari. 1Blocker is a fast, secure, and robust tool for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that empowers users to put a stop to invasive online content.
