I predict Chrome will come to iOS with working uBlock extension on day one, and that will be the last day I use Safari. I'm not even a fan of this regulation (I think it's sour grapes on the part of the EU because they have utterly failed to compete in this space) but I loathe the browser experience, with its lack of working ad blocking, on iOS.

Well, chrome is castrating ublock on chrome desktop with Manifest v3 quite soon. What makes you think it will be any different on iOS? Pretty soon chrome Adblock capabilities will be quite similar to that of safari on iOS which I find quite ironic.

Chrome doesn't have extension support on android. While there are many popular chrome forks on android, none of the ones I'm familiar with add support for ublock, rather they have some inferior adblocking experience instead. Firefox on android does have extension support, which while limited, does support ublock0.

Safari on iOS has extensions, including Adblock extensions, and has for some time now. They even have an extension that blocks ads on YouTube and forces it to use the native video player, so you can get Picture in Picture without an app.
