Pixel 5 or iPhone 12

Looking for suggestions on a new iPhone12 or Pixel 5.

One thing it must do is to block ads from the browser and apps.

On Android, i have been using dnschanger and using the Adguard dns address. This blocks almost 100% of the ads without rooting, it's simple to do and for no charge.

Can the same be done on the iPhone12?

First time reading choosing between two phones with this type of requirement.

I started using ad blocker because it's offered for Samsung Internet Browser which I switched to just last year. No more Chrome for me. If it wasn't it's not the end of the world.



iPhone 12 gets my vote Apple's built quality and design easily wins it.

If you’re an Android user, just side load Blokada and it will block all ads system wide on your phone

Not sure I like the way AdGuard installs on iOS

Google phones maybe OK but their customer service is the worst.
