Once 1Blocker is installed, it's worth configuring its core features, and this article explains how to do it.

Also, before you proceed to these steps, we’d recommend checking out the following article to have an overview of the tools we use: How 1Blocker protects you

Go to iOS Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions (under "General").

There will be several 1Blocker switches that correspond to specific blocking categories of the app. We recommend enabling all of them in your device's Settings and managing specific categories in the 1Blocker app.

In the Safari browser, go to Safari > Settings > Extensions to turn on 1Blocker extensions.

Now, it's worth checking whether these categories are enabled in the app itself.

You just need to open the 1Blocker app and turn on the content-blocking categories you are interested in. Most of them are in the app's General tab, but you might also want to enable a couple of regional categories as well.

The final setup might be the following: Block Ads on Sites + Block Web Trackers + Block Annoyances + Block Widgets.

Important: the free version of 1Blocker allows using one blocking category at the same time, while multiple blocking categories require 1Blocker Premium.
