Apple only allows inspection of the request, and either block or not-block result to filter out ads. This is very limited, as evidenced by comparing to uBlock origin.
Their reasoning is that they want to make it impossible for an adblocker to collect any data.
But I don't care about that because I would chose one adblocker that I trust (uBlock origin). It's a non-issue.
Now I'm forced to use a multitude of native apps that all have far more data collection and access than webapps.
