If not using the native Safari browser in iPadOS/iOS, you still won’t be able to utilise a third-party Ad-blocker for your browsing, but Firefox will block a lot of unwanted content. Even if you choose to continue use of the Google Search Engine (most of us are still guilty of “Googling”) you will still considerably reduce your exposure to Google’s mining of your data. With switching to Firefox, you will also benefit from switching to a privacy-focussed browser, that is designed to block nefarious content. If you do some research yourself, you may be able to adapt this technique to other browsers if you prefer them. Now, assuming you will log-in to your Firefox account on all your devices, then all your bookmarks within Firefox will sync across all your computers, on all platforms, including your Apple devices. Here is the process described by Mozilla - the authors of Firefox: Instead, we’ll do this on one of your other devices. Now, we need to import your bookmarks - but at present, it is not a straightforward task to automate import from Chrome to Firefox on your Apple device. A perfect candidate is Firefox - which allows you to easily sync all your bookmarks across all your devices - and it’s available for nearly every platform in common use. If you are prepared to consider use of an alternative browser - ditching Chrome - we need to find a browser available across your three computers (of which, I presume, at least one is an Apple device). Okay - lets tackle this issue laterally and creatively. Google are never going to help you block its reason to exist. With Google, you are the commodity - and Chrome is just another way of facilitating data collection (and consequent serving of targeted Ads) by Google. Ad Blocking Chrome is effectively attempting to plug the holes in a sieve. Google (and its Chrome browser) create revenue for Google by serving Ads - and by skimming your data which it sells to any third party who is prepared to pay for it. Unless you have a specific reason to use the Chrome Browser - and are prepared to accept the many privacy issues associated with Google services - switching to a privacy focussed browser such as Safari or Firefox would be a sensible alternative to seeking third-party fixes. Your alternative strategy is to use a filtered DNS provider (such as Quad9 or Cloudflare 1111), but these services are primarily intended to block known malicious sites as opposed to providing configurable Ad Blocking.Īlternatively, you could connect to an external proxy service that filters all your traffic - some such services sometimes combining a paid VPN service offering. As such, direct Ad Blocking by third party browsers isn’t possible. The iPadOS/iOS Ad Block APIs are only available for Safari.
