Any recommendations for a good ad blocker and other precautions to take?

I know most people trash on Brave, but honestly, if you disable its crypto features (which is just a click away), it's actually a decent browser that blocks almost all ads I see, even on iOS!

For example, YouTube has no ads in iOS Brave. Since iOS doesn't allow real browsers and extensions, Brave has been a sanity-saver for me.

Pair that with uBlock on desktop and you're golden. 98% of the sites don't break at all either.

Safari on iOS does allow extensions. It also is a “real” browser, whatever that means. iOS does not, however, allow _alternate rendering engines_, which is different.

Acting like you don't know what a real browser means in this context just so you can be mock offended.

Oh you Apple users.

Safari is clearly a real web browser, you can use it to browse the web. It is a weird comment, the more straightforward and honest way of putting it would be “alternative browsers.”

Safari is real. People mean Chrome or Firefox on iOS are not real because they are just skins for Safari.

I mean, the comment is pretty straightforward, I don’t really see the need to come to this person’s defense. I agree that the iOS policy is dumb, but deliberately misinterpreting this person to make them correct is silly.

That's what I get for replying to replies out of context and going by memory. Oh well.
