adblocker not working on safari (solved)

This is for iPhone/iOS (14). I spent an hour trying to figure out why I started getting Safari ads even though my content blocker was active. I finally found that, further down in the Safari settings, below Content Blockers>, is another Content Blockers> setting. Click on that and turn it on for All Websites. Somehow that setting got turned off for me (how, I don't know) but turning it back on fixed the problem.

Cannnot enable AdBlocker Ultimate in Safari under iPadOS 16.1 I am trying to enable AdBlocker Ultimate in Safari under iPadOS 16.1. The instructions say to [1] go to iPadOS Settings, then [2] select Safari, then [3] select Content Blockers, then [4] choose AdBlock Ultimate. The problem occurs at stage [3] because “Content Blockers” does not appear in the Settings. Does anyone have any idea what’s up here?
