I’ve yet to find a browser on iOS that blocks ads as effectively. I’d like to use Firefox but they don’t seem interested in adding Adblock on their iOS app. I don’t want to use Brave but browsing the internet with ads is an absolute non-starter.

You can install uBlock Origin yourself, can’t you?

Not on iOS (which is Safari in disguise and with Mozilla sync)

Firefox on iOS does not support adding.

don’t write off safari so quickly. it’s got fingerprinting protection, browser profiles that separate cookies and history, and extension support. i use ublock origin lite with next dns and don’t get any ads anywhere. you can use adguard as well.

Don’t use iOS if you want that level of control

Apple blocks Firefox from shipping their own engine or having a add on store on iOS. Web browsers on iOS are just Safari wrappers since Apple purposely makes browsing the web shitty so that you use the App store

Isn’t literally every browser on Ios just Safari with a bag on the side?
