Why Do This?
If you’re tired of ads popping up everywhere on your iPhone—especially while browsing or streaming—this guide shows how to block them without paying, without jailbreaking, and without any complicated tools. Just use a special browser that supports desktop-style ad blockers.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Get Orion Browser
Go to the App Store and download this browser:
Orion App Store Link
Orion is special because it lets you use real ad blockers like a computer.
2. Turn on Extension Support
After installing:
- Open Orion
- Go to Settings
- Find the option that says Enable Chrome/Firefox Extensions and turn it on
Optional: You can leave Orion’s built-in ad blocker on. It works fine with uBlock too.
3. Add uBlock Origin
Still inside Orion, go to:
Firefox Add-ons – uBlock Origin
Tap Add to Firefox
Approve everything, and you’re done.
Now restart the browser (close and open it again).
4. Final Step – Update Blockers
Go to:
- Orion Settings
- Tap Content Blockers
- Tap Update
This makes sure ad blocking is active and fresh.

| Works Well |
 Not Perfect |

| Stops annoying redirects | Extension updates need to be manual |
| Lets you add more blockers | Some advanced features may not work |
Bonus Add-ons (Optional)
| Name | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tabblock | Stops pop-up tabs | Add from Chrome Web Store in Orion |
| Adblock for YouTube | Blocks YouTube ads better | Use with uBlock |
| AdGuard DNS | Blocks ads in apps too | Set it up in iPhone settings |
| NextDNS | Like AdGuard, more customizable | Also works across all apps |
FAQ (Real Talk)
Q: Why not just use Brave or Safari with Adblock Pro?
A: Brave is good, but Orion + uBlock gives more control and blocks more stuff on tricky sites.
Q: I did everything, but ads still show up!
A: Make sure you update the Content Blocker in Orion settings. Or remove and reinstall the extension.
Q: Is having two ad blockers bad?
A: No, it usually helps—but if something breaks, try turning one off and testing.
