My Final Verdict:
Adblock browser is very simple and effective iPhone browser by Adblock Plus. You can block annoying ads, malware domains, video ads, banners, etc. for distraction-free and safe browsing. The ads can consume battery very fast and eat up your data quickly while browsing. But not anymore, simply use this browser and save you data and battery life. The only shortcoming of this browser that I found while testing is that it doesn’t have the option for saving images. Otherwise, “Adblock Browser” is very useful for ads-free browsing.
