Or, in other words, FBI now recommends using Android :-) It's baffling how much better uBlock Origin + Firefox experience on Android is compared to any iOS ad blocker I have tried. They kind-of work but let half of the ads through.

I develop a popular iOS and macOS ad blocker that block almost all ads[1] including all YouTube ads.

Will be interested to hear if you've tried it out and what may have been missing?

The only things we don't block at the moment is some non-English content and Adult sites. With a small team these haven't been the primary focus for the time being. Other than those though we should stop pretty much everything else.

The app works well enough but I deleted it. After setting it all up there’s no mention that it will work without the subscription. There’s no mode to say “continue without the subscription using the free services” just a very large button and a description of the price to subscribe. That’s hella sus. Also the very first screen doesn’t let you opt out of notifications or skip it with “setup later” etc etc — these customer / user hostile patterns had me so jaded I deleted the app and won’t go back.

Appreciate the feedback. We'll take it on board for improvements in the future.

We recently moved to a paid app model with a 30-day free trial available (from a freemium app model).

Understand that this is not as appealing as a free-forever product. We found that we had hundreds of thousands of free users and not enough paid users. After developing the app for many years under this model, we had to make some changes so that we could continue to fund the ongoing app development and updates.

The notification prompt can also be declined in the alert that appears; though we could make this more obvious with a clear 'Skip' button.

How does this compare with just using Brave?

That’s what I’m using now and love it.
