That is exactly my point, these are not solutions, but workarounds we end up with. A sensible approach would be a local blocklist, which would save not only battery and bandwidth, but all the material resources needed for the workarounds. I understand Apple will never implement this because ads and a captive audience are a crucial part of their business model; I just resent that Apple actively blocks people that want to implement this themselves.
