Where to find ressource for privacy and security in IOS?
-
I'm discovering a new OS and I feel like I need to learn everything from scratch. I don't even know which ad block to use.
The first thing I did opening Safari was to search for Ublock Origin. But it is not available anymore since 2019

I use AdGuard to great effect on my iOS devices.

Wipr 2 is a great paid ad blocker. Unfortunately most iOS blockers donât work too well beyond this one and AdGuard (and I havenât had the greatest experience with the latter either)

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 âallowable adsâ so that none break through.
Iâd 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 arenât 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?

What was the problem you accounter with AdGuard?

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

Yes unfortunatly. But we don't click a few things expecting our secrets to be safe. That would be very naĂŻve. 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.

Why would anyone got a ad bblock that allow some add put of the package?
I will look for your recommendation.

It has been a while since Iâve used it, but when I did it felt sluggish and missed some ads. Itâs probably the only choice if youâre looking for something free though (besides 1blocker, havenât tried that one)

Can understand that you are using it
BUT iOS is NOT a private OS at all!

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.
