My iOS setup:
1. Install Firefox Focus, which has a built-in content blocking capability. FF Focus only allows one tab at a time, which is mostly suitable for quick, throwaway tasks. It's not a browser if you want to have multiple tabs open or save bookmarks. To block Bad Things in Safari, go to Settings > Safari > Content Blockers (under General) > Allow Firefox Focus. In FF Focus, go to Settings > Enable Safari Integration.
2. Pi-hole (or NextDNS) to block spyware/malware on the DNS level.
It's not a 100% replacement for uBlockOrigin (especially if you like maxing it out), but it is good enough.
