In the end unfortunately none of the ad/tracker blocking solutions are solid; All an app developer has to do is use an IP address to fetch ads (avoiding dns resolution and thus dns based blocking won't work.) Or, fetching the ads

You can not do this with Pihole, because Pihole can only block entire hosts/ip-adddresses (and not only specific scripts on a host.) That's why you should keep using uBlock Origin/a browser content blocker, even if you use a

A VPN won't solve the problem entirely, but it can help (because you share a public IP with many other users of that VPN service). Of course it's crucial you pick a vpn provider you trust, that won't sell your data etc. There

Apple promotes privacy (which is great), but at the same time they behave like a dictatorship by not providing an opt-out of the iOS walled garden, which they do provide with System Integrity Protection on macOS. What he is doing will not p

You should be able to have that. At the same time people should have the freedom to opt-out of this "walled garden". Just like how you can opt-out of System Integrity Protection on macOS. Most/average people don't even
