All of these blockers use SFContentBlockerManager which only blocks ads for Safari and any apps that use SFSafariViewController (basically none).
Does anyone know if it's possible to do ad blocking through the NEFilterProvider classes? (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkExtension/Reference/NEFilterProviderClassRef/index.html https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Networ...) This looks like it would block requests at a lower level, possibly for all Apps. Has anyone else tried digging into it?
- anonred 11y agoA quick search shows that NEFilterProvider requires the device to be supervised to work.
- vbezhenar 11y agoIt's not hard to supervise the device. Majority of users won't bother, but there's still market, I'm sure. Another approach is to sell ad-less VPN. User will have to install custom root certificate, so VPN server can MITM secure connections in order to strip and block ads. It's certainly easier to setup.
