I will not buy an iPhone until I can put uBlock Origin on it. My iPad is nearly unusable as a web browsing device, although it's outstanding in every other respect.
- metadat 4y agoI completely agree, having Firefox with uBlock on Android is really great! I wish more Android users knew and cared about personal security so they'd take advantage of this awesome capability. Apple's entire platform is so locked down, it definitely comes off as somewhat user-hostile to me. That said, my mom doesn't care about this aspect in the slightest.
- deergomoo 4y agoiOS supports ad-blockers. Granted they're not uBlock Origin—they basically just giant dictionaries of domains to block—but they do work and work well.
- nicbou 4y agoThey don't buy YouTube ads, newsletter popups and cookie notices, among other annoyances.
- musictubes 4y agoUnusable? A bit hyperbolic no? Ad Guard worked fine for me. I've moved to 1Blocker for cross app tracking protection.
- nicbou 4y agoNo, it's unusable. YouTube has ads. Other websites have ads and cookie banners. The web with uBlock is entirely different. I've grown used to it and I'm not going back.
- jakobbouchard 4y agoyou can actually use ublock origin through the Orion browser! it’s still relatively new, but it’s a nice browser. it’s also available on macos and supports syncing. you can use chrome and firefox extensions with it
