In their own words
1Blocker
1Blocker is an ad and content blocker for Apple devices, with Safari filtering, custom rules and options for tracker and cookie-popup blocking. Its Safari content blocker filters ads, cookie banners, annoyances and trackers; the separate 1Blocker Scripts extension targets harder-to-block ads and annoyances, including YouTube video ads. On iOS, an in-app tracking filter uses a local VPN profile to block invisible trackers across apps. 1Blocker says filtering happens locally and that the app does not collect personal information or track visited sites. Listed platforms are iOS, macOS and browser extension, with visionOS also supported. Requirements are iOS 16.0 or later and macOS 13.0 Ventura or later. Free mode permits one blocking filter at a time and custom rules. A 14-day trial is listed. Paid options are $2.99 a month, $14.99 a year and a lifetime plan listed at $39.99 a month, described as a one-time payment. Premium includes multiple categories, filter updates and in-app tracker protection.
