There’s also ad blockers for iOS safari, which I’m pretty sure doesn’t support ublock. There’s nothing in manifest v2 that’s required for ad blocking.

- armadyl 2mo agouBlock Origin Lite is available on iOS/iPadOS for Safari however last time I checked it’s inferior to AdGuard/Wipr due to the API it uses (it only works in Safari but doesn’t provide ad blocking in the web views like the other two do). Otherwise it’s equivalent with the desktop version.
- what 2mo agoOkay. So there’s still nothing in manifest v2 that’s required for ad blocking?
- armadyl 2mo agoRealistically with the new uBOL you’re just limited to the amount of rules you can use (I think it’s like 300k), no cosmetic filtering in default mode, no script injection in default mode, “limited dynamic filtering capabilities,” and needing more permissions up front. In practice to me these are non-issues. With MV2 uBO you basically already grant it maximum permissions since it’s all or nothing with MV2. So giving full permissions with MV3 uBOL is no different. Which eliminates the cosmetic filtering and script injection limitations. The rule limit can maybe be an issue, but I’ve never run into it unless I literally go hog wild and overboard on filter lists. “Limited dynamic filtering capabilities” is more abstract to me at least and I can’t say what’s missing here. In practice though ultimately I notice no difference between Lite and the original.
