I was showing my mom a new recipe on my iPhone, and right in the middle, a full-screen pop-up ad of some horned up dating sim game hijacked the moment. I get that some apps solely rely on ads for revenue but idgaf if you’re showing these two bit ads on my whole screen, I’m gonna do my utter best to block that shit.
I’m feeling super petty and I need a good ad blocker, but I don’t even know if there are those for ios(?). I’ve looked up some older threads on here and I’ve seen Adguard and Wipr recommended with some mixed reviews.
Idk if these are good though, and if I’m missing some other option? Ideally something not taxing enough that makes my phone beg for its life. Please help me feel vindicated

Adguard. Lifetime is 50% off during the holidays. Up to 9 devices. I can’t live without out it. Bravo browser claims to block ads, but google feels just right.
1Blocker + NextDNS! Best duo ever
Adguard DNS proxy on iPhone &/or AdBlock DNS block on your router incase you have openwrt installed
r/vpn and r/AdBlock are good subs to start with.
Use Firefox and add a browser extension
Ghostery is free and works great for me. Even works for YouTube as long as you’re opening it from Safari.
Firefox Focus for safari
Wipr is king. Maybe not as robust as other offerings like a custom NextDNS blocklist or AdGuard, but it is the best set it and forget it blocker.
Try nextdns.io
It’s an adblocker at the dns level. I’ve used it for 2-3 years now. Every once in a while I’ll click an ad in search results and it throws up a message about not being able to connect. If I want to actually go there, I’ll set dns back to default and then do what I need and turn it back on. I’d rather that than all the damn ads. It’s not 100%, due to all the different kinds of ads, but it’s the best I’ve found. It also very customizable if you want to spend the time tweaking it.
I’m having a good experience with Arc Browser’s built in ad blocking on both desktop and ios
