I’m a big fan of Safari and how seamlessly it works with all my Apple devices, but these ads are pushing me to the edge. I can’t even get through an article without being interrupted by some ad or another. It’s super annoying.

I’ve looked up older threads on this, and I’m choosing between two adblockers rn - Stop the Madness and Magic Lasso. They both seem like they could be a solution, but I’m not sure which one to go for. Anything that stands out?

Are there other options I’m missing?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights you guys can offer.

    If you want something sophisticated and like to tinker, set up a Wireguard VPN and an adblocking DNS server on your home router. Funnel all your iPhone traffic over your home-rolled VPN with the flip of a switch (VPN on/off in iPhone settings), and let your router serve you ad-free traffic via DNS filtering. This has the benefit of stopping ads in most apps, not just Safari. Combine this with a Safari-specific add-on for an extra layer of protection.
