Yes but power users do. And power users are the ones who set up and influence their friends and families browser choices. At least that is my theory on it.

- torgard 7y agoDoubt it. I imagine most people use the browser that came pre-installed on their phone.
- scarface74 7y agoIf you’re using iOS - you’re always using the rendering engine that came with your phone.
- glogla 7y agoThanks, I just realized I have to switch my mother from Safari to Firefox now that Apple decided to forbid uBlock.
- geerlingguy 7y agoIt’s less Apple forbidding uBlock, and more uBlock deciding to not turn itself into a content blocker for the newer version.
- input_sh 7y agoThat's just wrong. It's impossible for uBlock Origin to turn itself into a content blocker while retaining its current functionality. Content blockers in Safari are limited to 50k filters. uBlock Origin's default filters have more than that. Therefore, the choice is between a new, but much less useful extension, or no extension at all. uBlock Origin decided on the latter.

- saagarjha 7y agoTo be fair, multiple extensions is a huge hack and has complexities of its own.
- KeE8MAT1u2 7y agoFirefox on iPhone doesn't support addons either unfortunately

- gkilmain 7y agoThis is correct. I remember showing friends Chrome after hearing their complaints about how slow IE was. Some had to get over the hurdle of downloading and installing chrome (whereas IE just came with the laptop) but once they used it they never looked back.
