That applies to almost all android users as well.
I was able to block ads on Safari Mobile with a plugin called Crystal adblock, or something like that. It worked pretty well for the browser. Obviously adding custom DNS works better since it applies to everything. Their custom DNS is a little annoying though, because you can only add it to WiFi, not cellular. At least that's how it was when I left for Android about a year ago.
This is patently false… iOS has a whole content blocking system and a plethora of ad blocking extensions available. And no it’s not just DNS blocking, it removes the elements just like on a desktop browser. And yes in regular old Safari, not Brave.
