This will block most ads system-wide. This also blocks ads on your browser, but its not the best. We recommend you use the Orion browser along with this guide. This browser allows you to install extensions, including adblockers. If you don't want to switch browsers and you just want to stick with Safari you can follow this guide (although it's not as effective as using Orion):

  • Go to the app store, search Adguard and install it.
  • Follow the instructions from the app.
  • Once the app is open, click on the shield with a tick on the bottom of your screen.
  • Click 'Safari protection'.
  • Click 'filters'.
  • Go to 'Ad Blocking' and enable all of the filters listed there.
  • After that, go to 'Annoyances' and enable everything except 'I Don't Care About Cookies' (unless you want to enable this filter, although unnecessary).
  • Next, go to 'Privacy' and enable everything except for 'Fanboy's Anti-Facebook List' and 'Fanboy's Ant-Facebook List' (unless you want to enable those filters, although unnecessary).
  • Lastly, go to 'Other' and enable Adguard DNS Filter.
  • Now just go back to the home page in the Adguard app and wait for the content blockers to be updated.

Next you need to install 1Blocker to fully block all ads in Safari.

  • Search 1Blocker on the App Store and download it.
  • Open the app and follow the instructions.
  • After go to "Rules" and enable the "Block Ads" option.

Enjoy!
