It’s my daily news driver and the app I am spending most time in. Have to find ways to limit the amount of sources, though. FOMO is a factor.
Only annoying thing, but I guess out of this app‘s influence is that the embedded safari doesn‘t use the Adblock plugin. AFAIK that’s an iOS/Safari restriction. This leads to huge amount of ads on same pages I open directly in the app. Any clues maybe?
Based on the description it solves exactly your issue, but requires iOS 26/macOS 26.
Personally I use Adguard + their DNS. This combination is very good, but WebView blocking will be working with the DNS part, not content blocker. So alternative is PiHole.
I stopped using NextDNS when I forgot to cancel subscription and contacted then immediately to issue a refund. They ignored my request, were no answers at all.
I am not alone, this is a typical behavior. At least it was 3 years ago.
Why do I need to pay for the service that I don't use anymore not £1.79 but ~£20 for a year? Okay, my mistake, I am okay to lose these £20, not a big deal.
But if the service ignores customer requests to the billing@ email, then that's not a good sign.

Open in browser instead?
Sure that works, but it breaks the flow
NextDNS solves this.

I use AdGuard DNS now.
Hang on, you forgot to cancel a subscription and then expected them to pay for your mistake?
And you never got your £1.79 back?!

Use Pihole.
