Yes.
And nice config! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!

Definitely. Adblock Plus lost what little credibility it had when its developer started selling their own ads.

Iris ?
And your iPhone is jb/non jb

 

[Transhumana]

It's not jailbroken.
I don't think that Apple devices have iris-scanning technology available yet, so... no, it's only fingerprint.

I personally like Firefox Focus as you can wipe your cookies and history in the press of a button. I like to keep location set to OFF just because I think Google and apple might be using that to target advertisements etc. But I might be wrong as I'm no expert.

You're right I'm also not an expert. Google big revenue comes from advertisement. Google trace every user which they have ( Mostly we are using google search and google apps). Google creates a new service called "Google timeline". Google records your location everyday every second and publish this on timeline website . Go and find it "Google Timeline".
By Turn Off you location you're safe
On the other hand Apple tryes to stop Google. Apple developed a feature called anti tracking for safari to stop Google from tracking user over the Internet. Safari on ios 9 comes with ad blocker (in built) and New features (Ant tracking) is in beta.Apple trying to minimise Google profit from advertisements.
You can use adblocker to stop ads but most sites have script to detect adblocker.

I agree, that's why I prefer Firefox Focus to Safari, even though there were some reports that FF used to collect private user data. I'm not sure if those statements were correct.
I believe you're right, but somehow I've been keeping it set to ON mostly because of ATM-finding app, google maps, some games...

You can uninstall ABP and just keep AG, but honestly there is no harm in keeping it unless it is eating up any ram or storage.

It's safe to say you are secure! If I could add something, I would add either Trend Micro or Norton, but honestly they don't do much on iOS and I would only recommend them if you have money to burn.

Well, Firefox does some data collection in its telemetry which it's enabled by default, but can be disabled in settings. Don't sure if firefox focus do the same.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I have already uninstalled ABP , it seemed redundant as both FF and AdGuard provide content blocking. If I had a device with Android OS, I'd have definitely used some AV and anti-malware, but I have to agree with you - they really don't do much on iOS. On the other hand, I've been thinking of upgrading AG free version to AG Pro which provides VPN and lets you switch between different DNS service providers.

In settings you can block ad trackers, analytic trackers and other content trackers as well as disable the "send anonymous usage data" option. Good enough for me.

Upgraded to Adguard Pro and set it to use OpenDNS Home.
