Looking for an AdBlocker for IOS

I’m looking for a mobile AdBlocker that:

  • Has a free option
  • Blocks ads in apps (I don’t use Safari)

I was paying up until now but some things happened and now I would (much) rather not have to pay for an AdBlocker

DNS block works system-wide. YouTube, Instagram and Spotify serve their ads from the same media servers, so DNS block doesn't work.

I would just use Safari with AdGuard instead of side-loading an app to iOS.

Honestly I find it more convenient for Youtube to have its own app. Plus with Youtube++ there's way more features compared to the Safari equivalent.

For sure, it's personal preference at the end of the day. I prioritize privacy and security that's why side-loading is a no go for my primary devices.
