Iphone/Ipad users, has anyone found an ios ad blocker they like? (Resolved)

Last edited Fri Jan 3, 2020, 12:41 PM - Edit history (1)

Think I am going to start using one if I can find a good one. I don't need it for this site, but unfortunately not all sites I use will block ads for a donation, and some slow me down so bad I can't use them.

I looked at both recommendations and decided to go ahead with the recommendation for Purify and its working great. The increase in page loading speed is amazing. Its perfect!

Many thanks to both of the DUers who sent me recommendations.

I have been using an old Ipad Air. Installed Express VPN + Purify and its running like a brand new machine now, and clear of ads on all my favorite sites. I should have added these two apps years ago. Happy happy happy.
