Hey, I just noticed that my content blockers wasn’t blocking ads on every website I visited like it used to do. Now, I have to turn it on manually for every webpage. But then, if I refresh the page or navigate away and back, it’s disabled again! Am I going crazy? I thought once it was enabled in Safari Settings it would be enabled by default for every website. I just noticed this recent after updating to iOS 14.2 and it’s behaving this way on two iPhones I have with three different ad-blockers I’ve tried.

Probably worth checking in the ad broker itself in case there are some settings there. Also might be worth checking the settings under Settings > Safari > Content Blockers (both in the General and perhaps more importantly Settings For Websites sections).
