My mobile config for 2021.

With your browser extensions you destroy the good Anti-Fingerprinting in Safari which is the only browser (yet?) with good defaults

Sadly I need them as they are adblockers and safari doesn't have a built in one.

But you already use a DNS service which can filter ads.
Same for your VPN

Cloudflare doesn't filter ads as far as I know. And if it does I didn't notice . Same goes for Disconnect: Premium. It blocks trackers but just a very low number of ads.

- removed AdBlock Pro
- removed Better Blocker
- removed Disconnect
+ added Adguard Premium

 

[Kongo]

- switched from Adguard DNS to my own NextDNS config within Adguard Premium

 

[Kongo]

Decided to keep it simple.
- removed AdGuard
+ added Better Blocker
+ Surfshark (always enabled with CleanWeb and WireGuard)

Any slowdown with Surfshark VPN always on?

Until now everything is working flawlessly. In general web browsing I don't see any difference in the loading speeds of websites.

I already have WIPR. Will add HNB.

‎Wipr

‎Wipr blocks all ads, trackers, cryptocurrency miners, EU cookie and GDPR notices, and other annoyances, so you can focus on the content that matters to you. It works in Safari and all apps that use Safari to display web pages. • Time, Data, and Battery Saver Web pages load a lot faster with...

I want to keep the content blocker apps to a minimum, but Wipr looks interesting. Might replace Better Blocker with Wipr in the future as Better Blocker didn't get any app updates for a while.

You guys can use NextDNS signed profiles for Apple:

Set up NextDNS natively on Apple devices — NextDNS

Generate a configuration profile (.mobileconfig) that will make your device use NextDNS natively using the Encrypted DNS feature.

apple.nextdns.io

No extension or app needed

I know that and also used it in the past, but as I barely browse on my phone I just want to do some experiments and testing of settings and apps. I will use NextDNS for Firefox exclusively.

Wipr has been on my Ipad and Iphone for nearly 2 years and, for the last 6 months, I did not have to update it manually once.

 

[Kongo]

+ reinstalled Disconnect Premium with Quad9 (DoH)
+ added Wipr content blocker (thanks to @Back3 for the recommendation)
Will see how it works out.

- replaced Wipr and Disconnect Premium with AdGuard Pro and AdGuard VPN

- Updated to iOS 14.5
