I wish Firefox would at least implement a basic adblocker on iOS.

Without it, browsing is unbearable. I wonder if they're not allowed to do so because of their contract with Google?



NextDNS [0] has proven very useful for me on iOS. Firefox is 99% ad-free. Only for YouTube do I switch to Brave Browser.

I use Firefox on other devices and use the sync functionality so prefer to use it where possible.

My home router (Draytek) is also configured to force any connected devices to use NextDNS too.

Definitely worth the €20 annual subscription.

I agree; i use Firefox on all my Desktop devices. But on iOS it’s the worst. I never use it, except to quickly check for a (synced) bookmark.


Ditto!


Firefox Focus can be used as an ad-blocker.


IIRC Firefox on iOS is basically a wrapper around Safari since it's not "opened up"?
