This is actually huge.
I'm far FAR from an Apple user, but the moment this is available, I'll be seeing if I can install FireFox with µBlock Origin on my partner's phone.
For what it’s worth you can get uBO on Orion browser right now.
Last time I tried to use that browser it was too buggy for me though.
Yeah tried it like a month ago and it was too buggy for me as well. Safari on iOS does already support ad blockers though they’re not as good as ublock origin most likely.
Blocking is far better on the VPN routing level then bothering with a browser extension.
Cool! Are you talking about something like pi-hole or something else? In what way is it going to lead to better outcomes? I already have a pretty much flawless experience with my adblockers (especially when it comes to easily creating custom rules, using the element zapper, and testing new blocklists).
I find that my suite of browser extensions serves me really well, and it keeps working even when I enable my VPN, but something like pi-hole stops working if you do that.
How does the solution you're talking about differ? How does it provide a better experience?
