Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?

uBlock on Firefox based browsers works everywhere btw.

It’s not super easy but a pihole, with a vpn to always have your device on your home network, isn’t that difficult or time consuming to set up, and will block shit network-wide. No ads in apps, browsers, smart tv firmware, etc. unless it’s hosted within the same domain the content is accessed through (like Amazon’s trash).
I’ve used that setup for years and it’s wonderful.

Firefox focus on IOS blocks all Google ads in my experience. There are some it doesn’t get but they’re not through AdSense

Sort of a non-solution for the wider problem isn’t it?

Honestly, I was wondering what people here are talking about. uBO is so effective that you don’t notice either its presence or the ads it blocks. uBO might be a real effective solution for the problems you mention - until enough people use and start hurting Google’s revenue. Even if it does, uBO is a necessary defense since Google ads are obnoxious and potentially harmful.
