Why not use a client based content filter such as uBlock Origin?
- rovr138 6y agoNot them, but you can’t do that at every company.
- Waterluvian 6y agoAlso maybe they use their phone and many combinations of PhoneType + BrowserType don't support the same quality of adblocking as PiHole.
- 411111111111111 6y agoMobile Firefox Supports ublock Origin nowadays. I'd encourage anyone to try that out
- meitham 6y agoOn iOS too?
- robin_reala 6y agoNo, but there are plenty of other content filtering solutions on iOS, including Mozilla’s own Firefox Focus that can be installed as a system-level content filter.
- ornornor 6y agoNextDNS is pretty good especially on iOS where you can’t install adblockers (unlike on rooted android)
- Smoosh 6y agoYou can't? https://www.imore.com/how-block-ads-your-iphone-or-ipad https://www.imore.com/how-block-ads-your-iphone-or-ipad
- ornornor 6y ago> Where can I block ads? Only in Safari (or an app using the Safari View Controller). Pihole is a system wide Adblocker and so is NextDNS on iOS. So are the ones you can install on Android rooted.
- 112233 6y agolatest ios 13, AdGuard Pro installs VPN profile and filters on DNS level pretty well. Relevant adventure with iOS update rejection: https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-pro-is-back.html https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-pro-is-back.html
- city41 6y agoI could (and heck, probably should). But I don't browse websites all that often on the vpn. Just on the occasion that I do, I'm blown away at all the ads :) So just lazy.
