90% of everything is crap (Sturgeon's law) so by that reasoning, you can block everything.
And I don't know what ABP on iOS does or how it changed but the original extension wasn't trash. Sure, it has that controversial "acceptable ads" policy but it can be disabled by just unchecking a box in the settings once. I took a look at the code, compared it to a "cleaned" extension called AdBlock Edge and there wasn't much that unchecking that box didn't do.
Like most people, I switched to uBlock, then UBO, but performance was the main driver. Unless there ave been some major change ABP still fit my needs, UBO is better for me but it doesn't mean the other is trash.
