There s a lot of ways to block ads on your iPhone.

However for effective ad blocking without creating more problems than it solves requires you to understand how each ad blocking method works, where it may block ads, and the trade-offs to consider.

We've objectively tested Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge to determine which offers the best:

What Makes a Great Safari Extension? To answer that question, I hand-picked seven of the very best Safari add-ons for:

• Privacy

• Reading & Social

Once upon a time, developing for Apple was an exciting, rewarding challenge. But lately, that relationship has soured.

It s easy (and fair) to complain about subscription fatigue. But here s the take that might rub people the wrong way:

Subscriptions aren t the problem they might actually be the fix.

It s 2026, and web users still get bombarded by slow-loading sites, sketchy tracking scripts, and YouTube ads that interrupt every second thought.

So we did something about it.

Most apps don t make money from subscriptions. They make money from you. Your data browsing history, app usage, personal behaviour is worth cold, hard cash.

We ran the numbers for our app, Magic Lasso Adblock, and here s what we found:

• Current Subscription revenue per user: $25.50/year

• Potential Data broker revenue per user: $30+/year

• Meaning: we could more than double our profit margins overnight by selling user data.
