During the past week my ad blockers stopped working!
I find this market very strange.. there is so many but none really work?
Anyone know of a working ad block for ios safari?
I just want ads blocked in you tube.... I would be willing to pay but I will NEVER pay youtube a single cent.

In my opinion 1blocker is a must since it can block custom element and it syncs everything with MacOS app via iCloud. I use it in combination with Wipr that just block things but block them well since it have three blocker in one. Adguard can block custom element and have 5 or 6 blocker in one, so in theory its should be the best but in my experience I had better results in add blocking with standalone 1blocker or Wipr, dunno why. Didn't see ads on YouTube with any of those three.

I should mention that I'm from EU so its possibly that YT ads are different here since I didn't see them in years. I have read that some users had see YT ads with all three mentioned ad blockers, dunno what's that about.

1Blocker is good and is what I use on my phone and iPad but I use Wipr on my mac. That also works very well, and may be the simplest to use, you just turn it on and that's it. The only thing to be aware of is there is no way to whitelist a site, you'll have to use the system's mechanism for loading without a content blocker. Both are highly regarded and effective. For simplicity I would recommend Wipr.
 
I used 1blocker and also 1blocker x for a long time but now they do not work for me. actually for a long time they did not work.
When i go to shady sites for streaming movies the site will usually ask me to turn off ad blocker and that for me is an indicator that the ad blocker works... I am never asked with 1blocker and it does not block the ads.
Adblock fast worked for me for years but after ios 13 it no longer works well.
so far that Adguard works so thanks for that.
For a while there i thought i had to live life without youtube on my ios devices

I have never really seen you tube with ads before... It was scary plastered with ads ... hope I will never have to use youtube like that. ads on youtube mean no youtube for me.

Both 1Blocker X and Wipr work well for me on YouTube. Just tonight I tried YouTube on Safari on my iPad which uses 1BlockerX and on my Mac which uses Wipr and no ads.
 
Adguard. New version sucks but its slowly improving and their roadmap looks promising (to become like pro version)

And pro version is worth its cost for what it does. Can also use both at once for the cleanest internet possible.
 
Not quite sure about ads in YouTube, but for Safari I've been using Ka-Block! since iOS 12 (when some content blocking aspects have changed).
