I'm sure the TLAs work closely in conjunction with all companies responsible for internet infrastructure, yeah. That is their mandate.
If you’re in the EU or Japan, possibly. My guess is really doing it right (without impact on battery life) would require root. Or Apple supporting it officially with apis and everything.
Yeah that’s probably the best solution but like you say, pretty inelegant.
Yeah that'll block all ads and trackers that're possible without severe annoyance with a non fingerprinted browser etc.
Specifically, the way iOS content blocking works is guaranteed safe. All it does is write to a file loaded by the Safari browser to block content, the app can't do anything at all itself. No indication any VPN sold by AdGuard (or the local device-wide fake VPN) is particularly unsafe that I've seen.
Clearly it will be monetized in some way. Otherwise why would they have bought it?
I just tried "2FAs", which seems to be the most recommended free one. It failed to import any 2FAs from the Raivo export with 7 digits, but otherwise worked fine. Problem is it failed to import silently, didn't give any errors, which was offputting. Using it for now, but Raivo was better software. Pouring one out.
There's zero evidence of any wrongdoing or shadiness other than them having employees living in Russia. The company itself moved to Cyprus, many of their engineers left Russia, none of their servers are physically located in Russia, and they publicly disavowed Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
This doesn't mean Russia couldn't apply massive pressure by threatening family members, etc, of course, but I personally have no concerns at this time and use AdGuard Home (their local adblocking DNS server) in my LAN and their iOS app on my devices. The iOS app in particular uses Apple's content-blocking Safari tech so it should be completely safe so long as you don't pay for a VPN or use a local VPN to block everything outside Safari.
If you're rooted on Android, definitely use AdAway instead, it just replaces the hosts file.
