Get rid of ads.

While browsing on your iPhone, you come across one ad after another. Are you tired of that all the time? Then use an ad blocker. We have listed a number of suitable ad blockers for you.
The App Store is full of ad blockers, but which one should you choose? A bunch of apps that block ads on your iPhone just don’t work properly. That is why we have separated the wheat from the chaff for you. These ad blockers are worth it.
Good ad blockers for your iPhone
The ad blockers (except for one) only work with Safari, so Chrome users won’t have much use for them. If you want to watch YouTube videos on your iPhone without ads, you have to open the website of the video service in the Safari browser.
Using an ad blocker has many advantages. Because ads are not loaded, pages respond faster. Moreover, you also save battery due to the reduced data consumption. When choosing an ad blocker, make sure that it receives regular updates. Ad blockers that are no longer being maintained may function worse.

#1 Block ads with Wipr
Wipr not only blocks all ads, but also trackers, cookie notifications, and other annoying pop-ups. So you kill a lot of birds with one stone with this iPhone app. In addition, the interface is clean and easy to use. Exactly what you’re looking for in an ad blocker!
Wipr costs 2.49 euros.
#2 AdGuard removes ads
AdGuard blocks ads and removes other distracting elements from your browsing. With the premium version of AdGuard, you can also easily set your preferences, so that your favorite websites are not blocked. Very useful if you are looking for more functionalities.
AdGuard has a free version.
#3 Firefox Focus
In addition to an ad blocker for Safari, you can also use the privacy-friendly Firefox Focus browser. This automatically blocks ads and trackers, so that you can surf undisturbed on your iPhone. The downside to this is that it doesn’t block ads in Safari. So you will have to get used to a new browser.
Firefox Focus is free to download.
Whitelisting websites
Many free websites, such as news sites, rely heavily on advertising revenue. Consider whitelisting the platforms you want to support. You will only see advertisements on these websites.
