Do I understand correctly that it is impossible to browse the web on iPhone or iPad devices with an on-device ad blocker / extension / etc because Apple dictates rules around browser engines?
I have to believe I am incorrect, as I can't fathom a huge portion of the tech population owning and using any of these devices without an ad blocker because the web is not usable without one anymore.
