It's DNS based ad blocking, isn't it? If so, it doesn't help with all kinds of ads.
YouTube still slips through the net unfortunately.
Yes, because their ads are served on the same server (googlevideo.com iirc) as the actual videos. Blocking that domain would block the videos too.
Same with piped pwa app
You can't do better than that on iOS. But the PiHole still goes a long way. It made web browsing from my phone tolerable when combined with the content blockers from Firefox Focus.
Safari content blockers don't cover the entire phone like the OP was asking about.
Use either NextDNS or adguard. They are DNS-level ad blockers, so a quick configuration of your DNS settings and ur good to go.
I’ve been using 1Blocker for years. It used to be a one-time purchase, but now it’s free with many features requiring a subscription.
I do subscribe, though. It’s updated frequently, can block trackers in apps, and syncs settings across all my devices. Its comment block feature has probably kept me sane.

Lockdown is a blacklist style “vpn” that is run on your device and will help with ads and tracking when browsing and in games. For YouTube, I go about sideloading uyou plus which covers any ads and similar issues within YouTube itself.
I use adguard and adguard VPN on my phone. I have an adguard home server set up on my home network so I use that when I’m at home instead. I don’t VPN into my network as others have suggested because I have Xfinity and I have limited monthly data.
thanks for using Leebra!

Why limit yourself to just your phone, use a pi-hole and block ads for your whole network.
And when I’m out, I have a vpn running on the phone back to my home network and block ads on 4g/5g as well
