I love iOS 15 but for some reason have been receiving so many extra tabs with pop up ads and it’s annoying. Many of these pop up ads are opening up ical directly to add some fraudulent link

I hear extensions are supported for safari and am wondering if there exists some great solution so I’m not longer taken out of safari when using it.
 
This may not help but I use AdBlock pro, don't see ads but sometimes it blocks too much.
 
I have been using adguard pro along with FF focus for awhile now. I don't think I ever get Safari ads. Unfortunately, ads within applications still come through though.

I use 1Blocker on my ios devices and Wipr on my Mac. I highly recommend both. Wipr, available for ios and macOS, is somewhat simpler to use - just turn it on, nothing else to do, no other settings. 1Blocker has a lot of customizations available as well as the ability to white list specific sites. Wipr has no white list option, the developer does not feel that is something that should be used so you have to use Safari’s control for turning off content blockers. With 1Blocker I’ve found that when having an issue on a specific site I have to use its “disable blocking“ control and not Safari’s. On certain sites using the Safari web site setting function does not completely disable all the blocking and I’ve still had issues until I pulled up 1Blocker’s controls.

I installed 1Blocker yesterday. And so far I’m impressed. It’s been the best ad blocking app I’ve used on iOS. I wish Ublock Origin was available for Safari on iOS. 1Blocker has blocked every ad in Safari, I usually see a lot of ad’s on MR, but I haven’t seen a single one since installing 1Blocker.

Thanks to everyone in this thread who mention 1Blocker.
