I installed Firefox Focus for iOS simply for its content blocker. I still prefer using mobile safari, but augmented with three content blockers: - Firefox Focus, which blocks all sorts of stuff - 1Blocker, which blocks all sorts of stuff - Unobstruct, which blocks Medium's "dickbar" popups.

  Same. Used dickbar in conversation recently to almost pure silence. Very apt.

I just looked up Unobstruct, and surprisingly the author's article about it is on Medium: https://medium.com/@tgaul/introducing-unobstruct-230e4e95cf5e https://medium.com/@tgaul/introducing-unobstruct-230e4e95cf5...

Does this work in embedded browser? More often than not I don't open links within Twitter/Reddit mobile app bc I can't stand some intrusive ads.

  If that app uses a Safari View Controller.

  FYI the most recent version of the Reddit app for iOS (3.5) has an option to open all links in an external browser. Apparently the safari view controller is in the works as well.

  It also supports "Chrome" Custom Tabs on Android.
