February 14, 2025 -

I've had an iPhone for 10 years and have tried many ad blockers (with poor results for this issue). Today, I came across a video and wanted to share this discovery with you (I'm sure many of you already know about it, but I just found out).

To block pop-ups that open in Safari, making browsing a nightmare, just go to:

February 6, 2019 - Of course if you have the pop-up blocker enabled when you try to use one of those types of sites on an iPhone or iPad, the website will usually just fail to work properly and you won’t see the data requested.
