Until I can get a browser adblocker on a non-rooted, non-unlocked iphone, it's not a switch worth making.

firefox mobile + ublock origin is the only way I find the mobile web tolerable.

Content blocker extensions have been a thing on iOS for half a decade. Prior to that I'd just use a browser like iCab with built-in support for exactly the same type of filtering lists.

So it's always been both possible and trivial.

Handblock on the App Store does a good job.

Not as good as UBlock Origin, but pretty good.
