For example, on pretty much every food blogger site: https://www.realmomnutrition.com/change-camp-snacks/
This style of anti ad blocker injects JavaScript that will replace site content with a warning to disable ad blockers.
Firefox-based browsers and ublock origin have no issues but with the related domains blocked at the DNS level I’m hoping to find a solution for family phones, and for other family members and guests who still use Chrome-based browsers that can’t negotiate script blocking.

I’m on my Mac, but I’m using Safari. I use Wipr2 and that site rendered just fine. Let me try it on my iPhone… nope, no problems there, either. Same setup, Safari and Wipr2.
Wipr2 is not free, though. It’s $5, and it’s a universal purchase (iPhone, iPad, Mac). Also, the developer is on the Fediverse (Mastodon) and it’s (she’s, IIRC) a solo developer. Your money could go to a lot worse places.
Worth noting, I am on the iOS 27 Developer Beta 2 on my iPhone, so I am not using a public version of Safari. However, the Mac I tried it on is running the latest macOS 26. At least I think it’s up to date. It’s kind of at the mercy of my wife, it’s her Mac. My Mac is the laptop and that is on macOS 27 Developer Beta 2. I don’t feel like checking that machine, though.
Thanks for checking, I’ll look into Wipr2.
AdGuard has freely available iOS profiles which will handle 98% of ads and other bullshit.
As in the iOS app or AdGuard Home? I’m using Home at the router level already.
Neither, they have DNS profiles which you can install to iOS and get ad blocking even on the cellular network. It would probably duplicate the effects of the app, though, so if you’ve got that then you should be set.
Some things still slip through, but on the whole it’s pretty good.
If you’ve don’t have more than a million requests per month, you can setup your own profile and enable additional block lists.
You can set up DNS level blocking on phones too.
But iOS doesn’t use chromium?
That loads on Safari without issue with my extensive denylists in pihole. But I know what you mean; variety.com has a “disable your adblocker” splash that is used by other sites too. Ublock from the App Store works for me.
if they’re on iOS, then there’s always the adguard plugin for Safari. dunno what filter lists there are in that, but I imagine there’s some anti-adblocker ones.
