minus-squareplexnose@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·1 year agoiOS users have plenty of options here too AdGuard Pro (paid) AdGuard DNS (free) other free dns blockers - NextDNS, ControlID etc Safari addons browsers with blocking built in (eg brave) VPNs with ad blockers built in DNS and VPN blocks will work on most apps and all browsers. I prefer Asguard dns and then Safari extension or Brave

Like I said, their reputation is stellar in the privacy world, and that means more to me than where they are located.
minus-squareplexnose@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI beleive its in Cyprus now - but fair point - NextDNS might be a better option in that case
