Latest Firefox rolls out Enhanced Tracking Protection 2.0

There are two solutions I’ve used:

1. Content blockers for safari are sold in the App Store. Not bad.

2. A private Pinole instance on a vps. Just set your phone to connect to it. There are turnkey docker installs of this now.

Neither are perfect / have quirks. I def recommend pinhole. I thought it would be a pain to set up, it wasn’t and it’s great.

Will #2 block ads in Apps as well as Safari?

Games for my young kids have terrible ads and finding quality, ad free ads (even paid) is very hard to do. I really wish Apple Arcade would release some early-ed games.

No, you need to route their traffic through a VPN running pihole.

Presuming you have a decent set of rules it can block ads and shield the IPs of your kids devices.

Pihole or NextDNS. The latter is nice because you can quickly toggle it on or off in the event that adblocking breaks something.
