Total AdBlock on iPad - Cost £2.99. Does it work?

Lara

Has anyone used this - it costs £2.99 - so it says.  Wondering if it is worth it to stop all the ads on my iPad or if it is just a scam.
Would appreciate any advice please.  I have a 2019 iPad Air. Many thanks.

A lot of websites are able to detect adblockers - some even know which one you are using. They make you turn it off or you don't get to see the content. Check Settings/Apps/Safari on your iPad and you can block pop-ups, prevent cross-site tracking, block all cookies, enable fraudulent website warning, privacy preserving ad measurement and a ton of stuff under 'Advanced'

Why don't you try installing the Brave browser? They block ads. https://brave.com/

Hi Lara, Just seen your post about totaladblock.  They are NOT trustworthy.  However you paid, go into your account.  You will find it is a recurring payment for £9.95 per month.  I also got caught but deactivated it from my Paypal account.

I use AdBlock for internet and AdBlock for You Tube.  Both work well and both free.  When a website detects that I have an ad block, I just say 'pause on this site'.

I use uBlock rather than AdBlock - seems to work (almost) exactly the same way but without the paid-ad-promotion that AdBlock (allegedly) allows.
