There are many subpar adblockers available both built into browsers on iOS and as extensions. uBlock Origin Lite for Safari remains the best mobile adblocker on iOS, I suppose.
Search result ads are some of the most harmful ads, and Google's ads in particular are probably the number one cause of fraud, scams, and malware on the entire planet. It's a shame that Firefox whitelisted these, but I'm sure they did it both because Google pays for their existence but also Apple themselves probably wagged their finger for some reason.
I don't know why people still use Google. They've sold out and literally been documented reducing search quality to serve more ads.
I use https://search.brave.com by default everywhere and for things even they don't want to show you, there's https://yandex.com.
I only use google as a last resort.
Wipr is the best adblocker on iOS that I’ve tested. Indie dev, gives you a lot for free, has a way to block outside of web views too. Big fan, I never had consistent ad blocking experience on iOS until I used it
UBlock lite extension on Safari blocks ads on YouTube? Is Brave not better?
