    I use KaBlock and Hush Nag Blocker. Both apps are availiable for macOS as well as for iOS. They are made to work with Safari. So far I haven’t had any issues with ads, even when watching Youtube videos. They are free. I would give them a try first. If they don’t work for you, you always can purchase wipr later.

      Which one do you like better? I try not to overload my phone content blockers because it’s hard to troubleshoot if a site breaks. I see Hush Nag claims they are FOSS so I’m leaning towards it.

        I discovered KaBlock first, and it did its job. I did not test it with Youtube tho. A couple of weeks ago someone mentioned Hush Nag Blocker and I installed it as well. I think they complete each other, as Hush makes Cookie-Banners disappear, which KaBlock doesn’t. Both KaBlock and Hush seem to block ads from Youtube - I haven’t experienced ads on smartphone so far (I skipped into maybe 3 to 5 videos on it in the last couple of weeks, as I have a data plan that isn’t tailored for video streaming).
