Apple introduced Safari Extensions with iOS 15 update. You can block all ads on Safari, the default iOS web browser, by installing AdGuard as a Safari extensions. How to block ads on Safari in your iPhone and iPad? Trick 1: Enable Ad-blocking Extensions (Formerly – Content Blockers)
not differently from what Google does on Android, but at least on Android I can install alternative (for real) browsers. of course the real reason is they want to control the platform 100% and want every single bit of information to pass through their pipes, not others' pipes. In this context, ad blockers protect users, so in theory they should be allowed by Apple that claimed more than once to be sensitive to privacy issues, but they could be used to make web browsing a better experience on iOS, which is against Apple interests.
Įven though you're probably already doing it on countless other devices and environments (another smartphone/OS/HW at work/school/library etc.)Īpple is not disincentivizing people from visiting malevolent websites, they are not making it harder for people to be scammed on the web, they are disincentivizing people from using the web because it harms their profits. In this context Apple decision is patronizing: you are entitled to spend thousands of dollars on my products because a bank approved the transactions and think you're fit to spend your money however you want, but I'll decide what you can or can't do because even though your government believes you can drive, have a family, raise kids, be a responsible citizen and also shoot guns, I'm sorry to inform you that according to my analysis you're too dumb to use a different web browser than the one provided by *me*. Most countries disincentivize buying and using guns. So the real situation is that people are free to chose to buy arms, but the process is complicated enough that casual shooters won't even bother and criminals, well, criminals don't buy legal weapons anyway. Most countries don't escalate the issue to the level of public guns VS private guns and don't consider being armed a right, not even for some law enforcement officials.
To be fair most countries deal with this via very strong national gun laws
