I’m not saying that it’s as good technically, but I use AdGuard for Safari together with NextDNS and it seems to do the trick. Probably just using NextDNS would go a long way.

I use these:

I like how I don’t need a separate app (just install the profile) but I do wonder if I need to implicitly trust the website that has the profiles for download.

So far so good though.

I use the mullvad ones. Sometimes it breaks public wifi signins, so I switch to a less restrictive one in those situations (usually CIRA, which is the Canadian domain registrar)

The really nice thing about DNS profiles is that they’re system wide, so it works against in-app ads too.

Is AdGuard a proprietary product? I recall looking into it and being a bit turned off once I learned it's not FOSS.
Most repos here show GPLv3 as the license: https://github.com/AdguardTeam
I'd be delighted to be mistaken, because Safari on iPhone sucks with all the ads.
the iOS one is closed. Linux and browser exts are open.
Could you possibly be referring to the AdguardForiOS code with the GPLv3 license?

Huh, I didn't know. But it seems like the repo lags behind what's on the appstore by two minor versions.

Honestly, no idea.
