Thank you for all the NextDNS recommendations. I’ve been looking for something to help block adds that isn’t a VPN on iOS.

Just curious what do folks think of AdGuard. I’ve seen that come up on Reddit but looking at their website it doesn’t look trustworthy and I couldn’t find info about what they actually track.

I'm not sure why you found their site untrustworthy, but, I've used it for years and I'm a huge fan.

Anyway though, AdGuard on iOS is a VPN and I find it unreliable, on macOS it works great.

The great thing about Adguard for Safari is that you don't need to trust them. They load a blacklist that the OS can read and then blocks accordingly. Compared to extensions on Chrome which can see everything you do.
