It's time to fight annoying hidden ads on websites that redirect you to the App Store. While Apple is demonstrably inactive, we have prepared six ways to combat redirects in iOS.
IN Lately I often began to notice that from some sites, whose reputation is beyond doubt, I am transferred to the App Store to the pages of different applications. In this case, a dialog box confirming consent to the transition does not appear, and many sites then do not load completely.
Among them were Last.fm, Reddit, The Verge, MacRumors, Metacritic and many others. Moreover, redirection occurs not only from the standard Safari browser, but when opening the site in Google Chrome or Opera Coast for iOS.
Apple is aware of this problem, which is confirmed by the list of changes back in iOS 8 Beta 2:
Safari now blocks ads from automatically redirecting to the App Store without user interaction
But the problem still exists even on devices with the newest and .
There are several ways to solve the redirect problem in iOS while we wait for an official solution from Apple.
Important! Before trying any of the methods below, I I recommend clear browser cache ( Settings -> Safari -> Clear cookies and data) and block cookies ( Settings -> Safari -> Block cookies -> Always). These simple steps can help with redirection for some sites.
This method will 100 percent solve your problems with any redirects, and many other advertising technologies will be much less annoying. The disadvantage is that many sites in modern Internet are very tightly tied to Java scripts, and it will be simply impossible to use them after such a disconnection. Unfortunately, none of the iOS browsers that I know of support partial blocking of Javascript for certain sites, which would be ideal solution Problems.
Javascript is disabled in Settings -> Safari -> Add-ons -> Javascript.
For those who are ready to abandon the Safari browser or, for example, its closest competitor in the form of Google Chrome, the problem with annoying redirections can be solved by installing the browser Dolphin[Download from App Store]. Dolphin free and quite easy to use.
The AdBlock built into this browser copes well with this kind of advertising. It is enabled in the browser settings.
Weblock is a special application that allows you to block ads or any other resources in all iOS applications, not just in the browser. There is only one “but” - Weblock works exclusively for connections via WiFi, since in essence it is a very flexible and customizable proxy for each specific user. You can download it for 119 rubles in the App Store. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the lack of Russian localization.

To use Weblock, you need to set up your connection via Wi-Fi according to the instructions in the application itself (you need to go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> *your network name* -> HTTP Proxy -> Auto and insert the link there that will be generated for you by the application).
iOS has a whole system of restrictions, which allows you to customize the use of your device by applications and content. If you use it to disable the App Store, then advertising redirects simply will not work, allowing you to continue surfing the web without any problems.
The App Store is disabled as follows: Settings -> Restrictions -> Installing programs. Any link leading to the App Store will simply stop working after this. Minuses this method are obvious - without an app store, life is boring and dull, and constantly turning on and off restrictions on the App Store is quite tedious.
Jailbreaking gives you access to a huge number of different tweaks and applications, with which you can solve almost any problem or flaw in iOS, and simply customize the system to suit your needs. Just two installed applications from Cydia will help us solve not only the issue of advertising redirects in the App Store, but also completely forget about the existence of advertising.
First tweak – Untrusted Hosts Blocker from the repo.thireus.com repository. He edits the file /etc/hosts in the system, blocking connections to 38 thousand advertising resources.
Second – (for iOS 8 the second version is used, ) from the BigBoss repository, which allows you to block any advertising.
This option has only two disadvantages - a jailbreak is required, which means the option is unsuitable for devices on the newest versions of iOS. In addition, the AdBlocker tweak is not free ($2 in the Cydia store).
Intrusive advertising, how tired we are of it. The advertisement itself was created to help us decide which product is best to use, as well as which product is better to purchase. But it happens that on a smartphone or tablet, advertising pops up out of the blue, or when the browser is running while surfing the Internet, because some sites are simply filled with it.
In menus, applications, on the desktop of your iPad, even malware can perform these unwanted actions. How to remove the virus and finally get rid of advertising? We will look at this and more in this article.
Getting rid of advertising in official internet Apple Safari browser. Special utilities that are configured to block ads and pop-up banners while surfing the Internet will help us cope with this difficult task.
1 The first type is advertising that does not cause difficulties for the user when viewing the site; these signs, as a rule, are located on the side of the main content and do not cause any trouble, except for people who are not particularly susceptible to advertising. 2 The second type is pop-up banners. They appear when you go to the site and interfere with the use of content. Sometimes, when you close them, you will still be redirected to the advertiser’s website. 3 The third type is malicious or viral. This type of banner is quite rare, but, as they say, being aware means being armed. This type may block your iPad and ask you to transfer money to a certain account to unlock the device.Of course, after transferring money, no one will unlock your device, you will simply lose your time and money. Also, when you go to the site, an advertising virus, the so-called “spammer,” may be automatically downloaded to your tablet. This virus is cunning in that it shows you advertisements throughout your device, in the menu, tablet settings, contacts, and so on.
The top application in this area is the well-known Adguard program, which is suitable for almost any device - be it a personal computer or a smartphone. It can be installed very simply. First, go to the AppStore, write Adguard in the search bar and install this application. Launch Adguard , then go to the settings section for your own tablet.
In the settings section, find the browser you use, for example Safari, then click on it. In the browser settings, go to the content blocking rules subsection, after which a new window will appear in front of you, in which you need to turn the switch to the enabled position next to the inscription Apply Adguard content blocking rules or similar.
Now you need to initialize the blocker application, to do this you just need to run it, it will configure itself and apply everything necessary rules. After all the operations done, you can test the application by going to the site that had the advertising that annoyed you.
If for some reason you no longer need the application to combat advertising, you can simply delete it. Before this, go to the settings section of your tablet and disable the Adguard content filter, after which you can simply delete it like any application on your device.
You can do this as follows - Go to the next path, the settings section of your device. Find the browser you are using.
In this way, go to the add-on subsection, and then move the slider next to JavaScript to the disabled position. Now your device is protected from pop-ups, but there is one drawback.
JavaScript is not always used for bad purposes, on many sites this programming language is used to help validate entered content in forms or display the results of actions on this site, so it is not always prudent to disable it.
To deal with the latter type of advertising, it will not be enough to simply block it. This type advertising is produced by virus programs and spammers. Advertising can appear not only when browsing websites, but also within the operating system itself.
To deal with them, just install an antivirus on your device, which will help remove viruses already living inside your device and prevent the installation of new malware on your device.
Regardless of what device you use, there is one thing that annoys absolutely everyone - advertising. Today we will talk about how you can remove ads on your iPad and iPhone.
The topic is very interesting, because we encounter this problem almost every day, but we know absolutely nothing about ways to get rid of it.
As you understand, everyone wants to eat and therefore, by downloading the free version of the product, you get a lot of advertising that appears everywhere.
The ways to combat this phenomenon are quite simple and now I will list them:
Now is the era of applications, when everything seems to be free, but at the same time we receive a lot of advertising. In some cases this is tolerable, but there are times when it is simply impossible to use.
Many device users prefer Safari as their default browser. It’s especially convenient when you have a MacBook or iMac and everything is synchronized. 
Naturally, there are quite a lot of advertisements that you can come across when searching for the information you need. You can get rid of it in one way - “blockers”.
Starting with iOS 9, it became possible to install applications on your iPhone and iPad that simply remove advertising from the roots. Here are a couple of them:
As you can see, there are both free and paid versions. The choice is yours and don’t forget that sometimes everything doesn’t work as correctly as you would like.
Well, the last case where you can most often find advertising is YouTube. Behind last years his popularity grew quite significantly. 
Surely you like to watch a lot of videos on your iPad and iPhone, because it’s quite convenient to do this on large screens.
But, as soon as you get the hang of watching a video, annoying advertising immediately appears and sometimes you can’t remove it after five seconds.
There is only one solution to the problem - this "YouTube Red". This is the name of a paid subscription from this site and one of the advantages is watching videos without advertising.
In addition to comfortable viewing, we are also given a bunch of different opportunities:
All this miracle costs $12 a month. I don’t know how much the subscription is justified, but you can definitely save your nerves, because you won’t see any more advertising.
In fact, this is probably all I wanted to tell you about how you can remove ads on your iPad or iPhone. I think I've listed all the cases.
Perhaps I missed something and if so, write in the comments what exactly it is and I will definitely add information about it.
iTunes has dozens of great blockers, and each one works differently. The best ad blockers for iPad and iPhone prevent intrusive ads and don't charge marketers to whitelist their ads. Some of the market leaders allow unobtrusive advertising for mobile devices, and this is more correct, since advertising is necessary for sites to earn a little money and continue to work. Typically, the user can decide for himself whether to add his favorite site to the exceptions, or whether advertising on it is too intrusive.
Apple introduced ad blocking technology in iOS 9, allowing developers to create a variety of Mac-based ad blockers. iOS 11 takes ad blocking even further, giving you the ability to block trackers that monitor what you do online and what ads you should be shown. But by default this technology is not enabled.
It is simply impossible to name one definitely the best and ideal. Because different brands offer their own functions, capabilities, and have some features. However, we can recommend three popular options that enjoy the well-deserved respect of Runet users and the whole world.
AdBlock is a little different from other ad blocking apps. It uses your iPhone or iPad's proxy server to make it easier to block ads across the entire device, including apps, other web browsers, and games. With the $1.99 Pro version, you can use a DNS proxy to assign any IP address in a domain and block mobile trackers.
If you want to block all ads, including those that appear in your favorites free games, AdBlock will really help with this. By the way, you can sync ad blocking settings between all iOS devices via iCloud.
AdGuard blocks dozens various types ads to speed up Safari browsing on iPhone and iPad. You can set up rules for specific websites and manually block ads from sites as you visit them, or use ready-made filter lists such as EasyList and EasyPrivacy. With the $1.99 Pro version of AdGuard, you can add the ability to use a local DNS proxy to block ads outside of Safari in other web browsers and apps.
It requires some understanding of the settings, but then it becomes very convenient.
Users have been waiting for this for a long time, but now this service is available for free use in the Apple App Store. This is an opportunity to remove ads in the Safari browser on iPhone and iPad. Effectively blocks everything unnecessary, ensures privacy and saves battery, and also helps to spend less traffic.
Offers its Adblock Browser with excellent functionality that is worth trying. It is quite fast and highly customizable. The service, of course, shows some “acceptable” ads, but this feature can be disabled, although it is not too disturbing.
It is very difficult to describe all the services, since there are quite a lot of them. But if you are just going to try to remove ads on iOS 11, we recommend choosing one of these applications, which are guaranteed to be effective, safe and convenient.
Searching and filtering out advertising is not the goal of this system, but monitoring the web activity of a specific workstation generally. Included 1Blocker more than 7,000 pre-activated individual mechanisms and blockers aimed at personal opponents. These include scripts, pop-up ads, analytical engine robots, secondary requests to the browser, etc. The official description states that 1Blocker is able to reduce traffic by 50% without reducing the efficiency of web surfing. This means a proportional reduction in iPhone battery consumption and some savings on provider fees.
In order to 1Blocker came into play, after installation you need to visit the standard application with settings: Settings –> Safari –> Content blocking rules on this device. Fine calibration of the utility is carried out in its own window and it is worth noting that this application is distinguished by a democratic approach to the selection of censorship objects. There is no problem disabling widgets for Facebook, leaving those for Twitter active, blocking the use of cookies and special fonts, but instructing not to interfere with the activities of trackers. There is a separate switch for 18+ content, and you can simply add a specific suspicious address to the blacklist.
For a thoughtful IT follower, the filter system provides ample scope for creativity - it provides for the creation of highly specialized rules for moderating web resources. It is possible to block domain names at various levels, create a quarantine and “green zone”, create URL filters using quantitative operands of the form “*”, “+”, “?” etc. All rules, if desired, are combined into packages and templates, which can be exported between workstations and exchange successful assemblies with colleagues.
To simplify the procedure, the website my.1blocker.com contains a web editor containing complete tools for creating, editing and applying rules. The smartphone is not very convenient for fiddling with lengthy lists - there are mechanisms for adapting scripts that can be compiled on a MacBook, but used on any necessary platforms. If desired, it is not so difficult to create a task for a robot that will flexibly maneuver between documents, tables, styles, SVG files, cookies, pop-up windows, blocking exactly what the author of a specific virtual barrier has indicated.
