- stop taking drying medications, such as antihistamines (or ask your doctor or pharmacist to help you choose something with fewer side effects)
- drink plenty of water to stay hydrated get some fresh air if the air in your house is stale or stagnant
- remove as many allergens and irritants from your environment as possible
- irrigate your sinuses with sterile saline using a neti pot or similar product
- use nasal spray to hydrate and lubricate your nasal passages and sinuses

Alright fair enough. It’s an iPhone. All the browsers on this thing are just Safari reskins (i.e. Chromium reskins). No browser add-ons allowed due to Apple’s policy. I don’t like it and I don’t expect my next phone to be an Apple product. DNS based ad blocking helps a little bit.
yeah I’ve found reasonable success with 1Blocker (and its local VPN proxy thingy, which I happen to have lifetime because early customer), but also
