Yes, there are a slew of “content blockers” in the App Store. I use 1Blocker but plenty of people like Adguard.

yes there are Safari extensions you download from the app store. I like 1Blocker: https://1blocker.com https://1blocker.com

Yes I'm using AdGuard Pro and you can use custom filters > same as uBlock Origin on desktop. Works flawlessly.

Only if you use Safari (which means you can't sync your data if you use a browser on a non-Apple OS), and all of them are significantly worse than uBlock Origin. I don't know if any of them even have anti-adblock blocking to the quality level that uBO does.

  That’s not true; I use Firefox on iOS and have Firefox Focus as a block list provider.

    Non-Safari browsers can't use third-party content blockers. It's a shitshow on iOS.
