Okay, my family has iPads. What should they use? Brave? lol

Orion has ad blocking built in and supports Firefox extensions.

I think the extension support is explicitly disallowed by Apple so shhh don’t tell anyone teehee!

iPads don't support notifications unless your family figures out how to use PWAs (they won't, Apple made sure of that). Also, there are various content blockers for iOS.

Unfortunately, because real alternative browsers are only supported in the EU (and even then with big asterisks), you won't see a normal browser engine powerful content blocking any time soon. The content filters you can download from the app store help, but they're not as powerful as uBO and friends.

UBOL is in testing now for iOS, but Apple has some bugs on their content blocking side. Reminder that adblockers are recommended by the FBI

Tablets not from Apple. That's your fault if you use that shit and can't block ads or install whatever you want.

  • They already have an iPhone, a Mac, a MacBook, which tablet would you recommend that integrates just as well? My point is that this is not a realistic option for a lot of people. Adblockers only work for people who have previously valued their freedom.

  • It's easy for a non technological person to block ads and malicious domains on the system level on all Apple devices.

There are various ad blockers for Safari on the App Store.
