I used to use crystal but hasn't been updated in 2 years.

So any decent free ad blocking apps that don't use your data, or affect battery.

Thanks
 
There are certainly quite a few to choose from like Firefox Focus, Adguard, BlockBear, Norton Ad Blocker, Ka-Block, etc.

Will adguard block sites that take over the full screen like those fake Amazaon award sites? I have to keep JAVA off as that seems to pop on a few sites I enjoy

Can you post a link to one or two such sites? I can test and let you know. 🙂
 
1Blocker seems to have stopped development. Dev showed up two months ago saying they are working on something, but nothing so far
 
I still use AdBlock Mobile. It's no longer available in the App Store, but it blocks ads everywhere. Sucks that Apple keeps cracking down on these kinds of applications -- especially when some apps do not offer a paid option to remove ads.

Why on earth should Apple NOT crack down on these apps? It’s a huge security risk with these ****** VPN adblocks.

I’ve been using them for a decade without problem. Don’t get your panties in a bunch.

Go ahead and have intrusive ads pop up in all your apps. To me they are ugly and slow down the experience. If a VPN ad blocker is what I have to use, I will.
