Seems like a wash overall with how Chrome for Android lacks support for extensions entirely. Firefox for Android supports uBlock Origin, which greatly cuts down on tracking and chances to be hit by broadly-targeted malvertising.
- charcircuit 4y agoKiwi Browser is a chrome fork that supports web extentions on Android.
- jorvi 4y agoFirefox on iOS contains no built-in adblocking despite Firefox Focus doing so. More bizarrely, there’s an open Bugzilla and GitHub issue on that, both a few years old. Obviously I have transferred my entire family and social circle over to Brave. If Firefox won’t make their users secure, I will.

I can understand why it's not a priority at this point, at least, given that Firefox on iOS is currently a reskin of Safari, and the door is reportedly about to open for actual competition among iOS browsers due to increasing anti-trust pressures on Apple. It would make more sense to me to address this with a real port of Gecko to iOS, and then you can just run the full version of uBlock Origin for Firefox on your iPhone.
