Hopefully I can get real Firefox on my iPad soon and finally be able to block ads
- dmonitor 4y agoThere's lots of adblock options for Safari on iOS
- kitsunesoba 4y agoThey work pretty well too. In terms of lack of adblocking and customization in a stock browser, Chrome on Android is far more egregious. It doesn’t support any kind of extension, adblocking or otherwise. It boggles my mind that despite this, it’s the dominant browser on Android instead of Firefox (which supports uBlock Origin, the gold standard for blocking). By comparison, Safari for iOS/iPadOS supports both content blocking extensions and “full fat” browser extensions, the latter with a caveat of maximum memory usage (which makes sense on a mobile device).
- pea 4y agoI use a combination of Brave + Blokada which seems to work well (I haven't seen an ad in over a year, I don't think). Turning off Blokada is horrifying.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoThat just means you have to choose between ad blocking and Firefox Sync.
- zamalek 4y agoI'm not so sure you should. Apple told all of us the Webkit restrictions are for our protection. How are they going to protect us from Mozilla's evil plans now? I really hope that their lawyers "vigorously" come to all our rescue.
- nuker 4y ago> Apple told all of us the Webkit restrictions are for our protection. that is actually true
- firecall 4y agoYou can get some of the way towards Ad Blocking by switching DNS. An easy option is to use NextDNS, which has an App that creates a VPN setting so it works with mobile data as well! No perfect - but it’s something! There are other options to DNS as well!
