Firefox 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.
