Yea, I use Firefox + uBlock Origin on Android, which doesn't require root, so I'm covered there either way. (Annoyingly, the regular Firefox on iOS doesn't yet support adblocking, but I think that will be changing soon.)


Browsers on iOS are just wrappers around safari. Apple doesn't allow 3rd party browser engines. So you will never see feature parity on iOS.


Yea, I know; and to make matters worse, there's no way to apply Safari content blockers to other browsers on iOS.

But, Firefox Focus has a built-in adblocking and I believe that feature will come to regular iOS Firefox sometime soon.
