I don’t block comments, but otherwise use all the other filters and the firewall, and I’ve not noticed any major performance issues (iPhone 13 Pro/iPad Mini 6th Gen).
Great adblocking - I don’t see any ads on the sites I regularly visit.
A great win, if you don’t want to have your behavior manipulated.
I agree. And the fact that I can always quickly tab disable ad blocking to view a site works really well. Using the new firewall feature show that VPN. In the top right all the time though…
Their VPN feature caused me issues with Tethering. Literally no devices were able to connect through my iPhone. Otherwise, I am using the standard Safari blocking, all filters on.
My 1Blocker subscription is about to expire, so I’ve switched the sub so it doesn’t auto renew so see what happens, how much it slows down my browsing and how bearable it is.
I think 1Blocker is having an impact and making my web life better, but I want to prove it to myself.
This must be why my Personal Hotspot wasn’t working very well the other day. It wasn’t very urgent so after a while I just gave up and forgot about it. But I forgot I had the firewall/VPN turned on
