Did you check in iOS settings if all the extensions are enabled and wBlock Scripts is set to "allow" (not ask) on all websites? Sometimes the extensions get turned off for people after updates due to an iOS bug.

I didnt change anything, but when I checked just now, all the extensions where allowed, and the „wBlock Scripts“ extension is allowed on all sites.

Can you go to settings > view logs and see if there are any errors?

[karlfrank916]

I dont see any errors.

Hmm, strange. Can you do settings > restart onboarding and select "minimal" and see if ads get blocked then? If that works, then you can enable a few other lists one-by-one.

[karlfrank916]

Even though you disagree, I do wanna mention that you consider the possibility again, that my iOS is too old. uBlock Origin Lite for example only supports iOS 18, and wBlock works flawlessly on that iOS too. Theres gotta be a reason uBlock doesnt support iOS 17 right?

[0xCUB3]

It's possible that AdGuard's filter list conversion layer, which wBlock relies on, is poorly optimized for older iOS versions.

[karlfrank916]

Well, I just restarted onboarding, select minimal, and loaded up all extensions properly and tried restarting Safari. Ads still pop up.

That's too bad. I'll try to figure out this problem. Unfortunately I do not have an iOS 17 device.

I had same problem on iPhone 15 pm and last iOS 26.3, but after like 20-30 minutes with manually! updating filters and scripts it's gone.
