Ask HN: Best iPhone content/ad blocker that respects my privacy?

3 pointsby backslash_16over 8 years ago
Hi,<p>I&#x27;ve recently upgraded my iPhone and as a nice side effect I can use all of the contact blockers now.<p>I&#x27;ve been looking around the web for recommendations for a content blocker but none seem very in depth.<p>I&#x27;m looking for one that is<p>1. Able to block ads in Safari, this is my main one because mobile websites with popups and overlays are getting harder and harder to read<p>2. I don&#x27;t care about in-app ads, unless people here think there is a good reason so start<p>3. Uses a set of rules locally to block content so every URL downloaded doesn&#x27;t cause another network request 4. Doesn&#x27;t use a fake VPN profile. For work I sometimes need to use a real VPN so I would like to avoid that<p>Anyone have suggestions or ideas? I don&#x27;t mind buying one and pay good, real, money.<p>Thanks!<p>Edit: Formatting to get list to show up correctly

The Perfect Browser has an ad filter which is fully customizable.
