Speaking about unblockable ads, I had to set up a pi-hole to block ads at the network level because I couldn't block them on my ipad on any browser. Why does Apple make it so hard? Am I missing something?
Safari has supported third party ad blockers for a few years. I use 1BlockerX and it works well. There are dozens of other options. Including Firefox Gocus which blocks ads by default and also functions as an ad locker for Safari.
