Where to find ressource for privacy and security in IOS?

Good luck with privacy there. At minimum disable the AI stuff that has access to every app, and that's if you believe their toggles do anything, which Apple has been proven to not listen to them in the past

These are both decent guides:

• https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/ios-overview/
• https://github.com/iPrivacyGuides/iOS-Privacy-Guide

For your ad blocking question, AdGuard is my recommendation.

I use Adblock plus, Ghostery and 1Blocker for fingerprinting as Safari extensions for iOS and Mac. They do an alright job for fingerprinting and do well with ads. Just make sure to go into Adblock plus and disable “allowable ads” so that none break through.

I’d say the better iOS browser is Snow Haze. Unfortunately iOS blocks a lot of the privacy stuff to conform with its guidelines so the locked down Firefox derivatives aren’t as strong as on android. Snow haze is the only privacy browser I know that works within the iOS confines and maximizes it. They also have an extension for Firefox if you want to go that route.

I stopped using chromium based browsers, so others may have recs on those.

Is AdGuard an browser extension or a standalone application?

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

What was the problem you accounter with AdGuard?

[catsgomow@lemmy.world]

Yes.

They have both. I use the standalone application since it covers everything running on your system and not just your browser.

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

Yes unfortunatly. But we don't click a few things expecting our secrets to be safe. That would be very naïve. These clicks are a statement. We do tell "do not invade my privacy". What we do to actually block them to invade it, it has to go by other means.

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

Thank you. I will read them.

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

I know there Android privacy guide but until then I never thought of looking for IOS content. Thank you.

Also the link is for Linux privacy guide but they have indeed the IOS privacy guide on the same chanel.

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

Thank you.

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

Just make sure to go into Adblock plus and disable “allowable ads”

Why would anyone got a ad bblock that allow some add put of the package?

I will look for your recommendation.
Thank you.

It has been a while since I’ve used it, but when I did it felt sluggish and missed some ads. It’s probably the only choice if you’re looking for something free though (besides 1blocker, haven’t tried that one)

[merde@sh.itjust.works]

fixed the link

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

Thank you.

[foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml]

Can understand that you are using it

BUT iOS is NOT a private OS at all!

[brucelee@sopuli.xyz]

It is not a choice, pal... I've got my life and routine figured out on Android, not perfect but I had find my personal balance of privacy, security and convenience and now I need to retake that journey from the beginning.
