You can choose exactly what you want to block within the app. Blocking ads is free, but if you want to block multiple things, you'll have to pay $2.99.
1Blocker is just one of several content blockers out there, but it's among the most flexible since you can control each individual type of content. You can also try Blockr or Crystal.

Stripping out different trackers and widgets should make the web browsing experience faster on your phone, although this depends on your connection. My colleague Matthew Stuart found that Safari was much faster with 1Blocker's features turned on.
