Software designed to prevent advertisements from displaying on Apple’s mobile operating system is readily available. This software typically functions by filtering network requests, blocking known ad-serving domains, and hiding elements on webpages identified as advertisements. A common application includes blocking banner ads while browsing the internet on an iPhone.
The prevalence of unwanted advertisements necessitates the use of these tools for many users. Benefits can include faster page loading times, reduced data consumption, and an improved browsing experience free from distractions. The development and adoption of these solutions reflect increasing user demand for control over online content consumption and concerns about data privacy.
