      Mostly done by ad-blocking DNS server at home (or via VPN when I am away), but yeah - no ability on Apple. Also impossible to root.

      I don’t do root anymore, but I would love to have this available as an option. Opens much more possibilities.

        This just, isn’t true? You can just download the Ad Block Plus Safari extension, just like you can on a desktop/laptop machine. You could even add a user script manager to block ads yourself if you’re so inclined. This has been in iOS for years, at least 4.

            You can also use the system-wide ad blockers that function via iOS’s built in VPN functionality. That’s how Android does it too.

              I always found the VPN solution felt really heavy. I remember on Android you could at least also have hostfile and DNS blocking too… But maybe that was only because I was on a rooted device?

                You’ve been able to use DNS-based solutions on iOS basically forever. I don’t really like them because they can be more technical than the average user is likely to jive with (they tend to cause a lot of issues browsing the web normally in my experience), but it’s pretty much always been around.
