This was an issue Apple was aware of affecting iOS 11 Developer Beta 1 & 2 and Public Beta 1.
This has been resolved in Developer Beta 3 of iOS 11 and most likely in the upcoming Public Beta 2.
I could not reproduce this issue on iOS 11 Beta 3 - iPhone 7+ - iOS 11b3
Resolved Issues
- In beta 2 and earlier, Safari Content Blockers may not have blocked content as expected.
Workaround: If a Content Blocker is not working as expected, in Settings > SafarI, toggle the state of the Content Blocker.

@traynard, can you confirm, that it works with iOS beta 3 using the current build?

@mario i can not confirm this. Bug still appears on latest public beta. Workaround does not work either

@mario @wmchris - I am actually seeing this working much better on beta 3 now. The example in this ticket is working as expected now (no ads).

@wmchris - what model of iPad are you using? I have tested on iPhone and iPad and am not seeing any ads on the example site in your screenshots.

I tested ABP with iOS 11 beta 5 (on iPad Pro) also against arstechnica.com.
Ads were blocked when ABP is active and AA is enabled.
Therefore, ABP appears to be working with the latest beta iOS beta version. For those times when it is not immediately blocking ads after activation of ABP, one or more page refreshes seems to get it to work.
