Firefox + ublock origin. Nothing was hijacked, I saw no ads, and I found the name in the 3rd paragraph. You can improve your web experience immensely.

I find this funny.

On tv, back in the day, we used to have mandatory ads. They were part of programmming..

On web, people."feel" its the same thing. "Oh let the poor owners earn a bit" because of sob stories of content creators and "only source of income".

They dont see ublock as something important

_we_ didn't.

Safari on iPhone

There are mobile users in the world too you know

Mobile user running Firefox + uBlock Origin here. Works great. Probably not on iPhones though...
uBlock works on Safari on iPhone too.

I didn’t get ads or redirects.

The lite makes a lot of difference, it's only using the iOS content blocker and it doesn't work effectively in many use cases.
I haven’t found that to be the case at all. I replaced adguard with uBlock lite months ago and haven’t noticed any problems since.
