I am tied to Microsoft Edge for sync between desktop and phone, and Microsoft Edge on iOS has AdBlock built in. But looking at this it seems inevitable that Edge will retain V2.
As to switching to Firefox? I'd love to, but Firefox on iOS refuses to put in an AdBlocker. Yea, you can use Firefox Focus but that one doesn't sync.
I don't understand Mozilla's stance on this.
- throwaway48476 2y agoFirefox doesn't exist on iOS, it's just reskinned safari. It's not Mozillas fault that Apple won't let you install a different web engine.
- OptionOfT 2y agoEdge on iOS, which is also reskinned Safari, has AdBlock Plus integrated. So it IS possible.
- throwaway48476 2y agoSafari allows some ad blocking but nothing close to ublock.
- pavon 2y agoAFAIK, Microsoft is disabling manifest V2 extensions in Edge following the same timeline as Chrome[1]. Brave is continuing to run V2 extensions, but has no plan to stand up their own extension store[2], so it isn't clear how users will get the extensions, beyond a few handpicked ones that Brave is supporting[3].

- int_19h 2y agoTake a look at Vivaldi, as well - it covers all major desktop and mobile platforms now and syncs across all of them through their own servers, and it also has integrated adblock.
