AdguardForiOS

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForiOS I am pretty sure it is open source. I’ve been using it for years both for upstream DNS and blocklist filtering.

Could you possibly be referring to the AdguardForiOS code with the GPLv3 license? https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForiOS/blob/master/COP...

Is there really a browser on Android that has better addon support than Safari on iOS? On iOS content blocking can be done on a very low level by ad blockers posing as local on-device vpns. This doesn’t require root and is super easy to set up. (e.g. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForiOS)

I really like AdGuard. Their free version is more than adequate. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForiOS

Yes, AdGuard seems to do so and IIRC also has customizable block lists. The default includes Safari-only blocking but it is able to add a device-wide filter using Apple's API for VPNs. It seems to identify the various trackers used by the social media apps on my device, for instance.

I've been using Adguard Pro [1], which is paid (not subscription), but open source [2], on my iOS devices. It uses Safari's content blocker mechanism for blocking ads on the web. I went with it over other apps because it supports adding custom rules to block specific elements on a page, like with other desktop ad blockers. If you want to block ads outside of Safari, it can optionally set up a VPN on localhost to block the traffic. [1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adguard-pro-adblock-privacy/id...

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. AdGuard doesn't have any scummy stuff like "acceptable ads", they make money by providing a fully functional free ad-blocker and selling a version that has more features. That's as un-scummy as it gets. (I have no relation to them. I use the free version. It does everything I want.) By the way, you can get the source code at https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForiOS. There's also a list of open-source content blockers at https://old.reddit.com/comments/btlwda/, some of them are non-commercial.

If you have a Raspberry Pi, look into using Pi-hole[1]. It provides network-wide blocking when installed on your home network by proxying requests. I also use AdGuard Pro[2], which provides a similar function when I'm outside my home network. Both happen to be open source software[3][4], so that's a plus.

Unless Apple reverses course, it absolutely is true. They are not being pulled, but none will be able to update and will be de-listed if they don't issue an update to remove the functionality. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForiOS/issues/445#issu...
