    Adblocker for iPad

    Is it possible to install Adblocker on an iPad? I have it on our PC, but haven’t been able to get it on my iPad, that I mostly use these days. If it is possible, would someone tell me how to or post a link that explains it.
    Thanks

    I too have apple products, I switched to a different browser that simply is designed to block ads, tell you what was blocked, and lets you adjust what things you want to keep or not. Not advertising for anyone, but if you are 'Brave' (free app) enough to look in the available apps at the I store, you will find what you might appreciate.

    Search your apps.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    It sort of depends on what browser you're using. Edge, for example, has it baked in. Safari, though, needs a helper app. I believe Chrome does as well. Not sure about the hundred other random browsers that are out these days...

    I've been using Purify with Safari on iphone and ipad. It's not super great, honestly, but it's what I have.

    For Safari, you need to download whatever blocker you want to try (there are many to choose from) from the store, then go into the Safari options in Settings and enable it as a content blocker. I don't use Chrome or rando browsers, so not sure of the details there.

    Brave for a navigator seems to get a lot of good reviews and has a built in VPN, that I think could be useful for me. It costs ten bucks a month but could be well worth it. I’ve been using Chrome for years, but am starting to get fed up with it as well as Gmail. I’ve opened a ProtonMail account and am considering closing the Gmail account or at least not using it much.
    I’ll wait for more comments and advice before I commit, but that’s the way I’m leaning now.

    Brave is Chromium without the junk. Chrome is Chromium with junk. My mail provider is AOL (used to make most of their $ from porn sites), recently said June they are making changes.
    VPN encripts your data to the VPN server and replaces your IP with theirs. No encryption from server to destination.
    Private browser mode just blocks cookies and trackers, doesn't retain history. Does NOT hide your IP. TOR acts like a VPN without encryption, basically 'hides' your IP.
    Whatever!

    Does Brave run YouTube without the ads?

    If I go to youtube via address bar rather than their app, I don't get all the ads.
