It's a shame that there isn't a good alternative for Apple devices, though. iOS doesn't have much by the way of good ad blockers.

It’s a shame that ~~there isn’t a good alternative for Apple devices, though. iOS doesn’t have much by the way of good ad blockers~~ Apple infringes on your property rights by refusing to relinquish control of your device to you, the owner, even after they "sold" it to you.

FTFY.

A little agressive, but yes, they dont reliquish access to your devce after purchase. "Calling home" being the catch-all term for devices that are fully or parially sending requests to its true owners for commands to run or data to give.
