Not sure of any adblock apps. For some obnoxious ads, a path

may (or not) exist by clearing Safari of previous site visit history.

For older iPad models, following seemed to work. May do nothing

for newer product issues, &/or acquired misery..

"Double tap the Home button, then swipe upwards on the Safari preview.

Go to Settings - Safari - Clear History.

Restart Safari. "
