  3. The most powerful Android ad blocker
    Adguard adblocker for Android works also with the VPN principle and is not on the Play Store for a while already. They are amazing and if you use an Android browser without internal adblocking (which I still think is better) such a VPN adblocker is a must for Android devices. I only had to whitelist a few applications like e.g. Google Photos https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html.

    > <i>The experience is so awful when I browse on my iPad, instead of my Android phone with Firefox+UBlock. I really don't understand how most people can stand to browse with all the ads.</i> Most people don’t. Most people who use anything for iOS tend to use things like: - 1Blocker - super full featured, including custom script and css rules. Business model is paid software, not ‘acceptable ads’ paying them for placement or third parties paying for your data - AdGuard Pro - Similar to 1Blocker, less custom config friendly - https://nextdns.io/ - pihole type blocker with unlimited configurations, custom rules, and analytics, native hooks for devices - https://adguard-dns.io/ - similar service to nextdns.io with ability to upload your own rules based configurations - Firefox Focus if using that ecosystem - Brave if using that ecosystem - iCab Mobile if wanting a super configurable browser with filter rules and longest history as indie browser for iOS We also use ancillary quieters such as: - Hiya - call / sms blocking - Hushed - throwaway numbers for spam SMS.
