Firefox ad-blocking in iOS Firefox

[Zimbo]

The main reason I still use Safari on iOS / iPadOS is that there are good ad-blocking options available to Safari but not to Firefox.

Firefox Focus seems to have a capable ad-blocker included, but this is not available for the standard Firefox app to use.

It would be great if Firefox included an option to use the Firefox Focus ad-blocker in its settings.

what it needs is actually to be rebuilt as a non webkit browser now that EU regulations allow it in the EU, so that the millions of privacy-concious European users can benefit from it and eventually be used to force the hand of apple to allow non webkit based mobile browser worldwide.

Please block cleaners and advertise

Sur mon iPhone, je dois utiliser Brave car Firefox est incapable de bloquer les pubs.

Je sais que les restrictions d'Apple empêchent les extensions telles qu'AdGuard par exemple. Mais, pourquoi Firefox ne fait pas comme Brave, en codant un antipub dans son fonctionnement sans avoir à télécharger une extension ?

Merci,

Pierre

On my iPhone, I have to use Brave because Firefox is unable to block ads.

I know that Apple's restrictions prevent extensions such as AdGuard for example. But, why doesn't Firefox do like Brave, by coding an anti-ad into its operation without having to download an extension?

Thank you

Mullvad Browser has uBlock Origin added.  Maybe Mozilla Firefox could consider a browser for iPhone users with uBlock Origin already added. I took a screenshot of Mullvad Browser with uBlock Origin indicated. I can't attach the screenshot here.

I'm honestly surprised blocking ads isn't already a thing on iOS Firefox. I'm switching away from Brave due to a recent update to chromium removing a feature I use often at the moment and Firefox works great on all my devices except my iPad. I use it mainly to watch Youtube videos and find it unusable without an adblocker. However, there's no real way to FULLY block ads on the site using vanilla Firefox. I really wanted to take advantage of the sync capability with my phone and computer, but I guess my iPad will just have to stay on Brave for now until they add this basic feature... Really disappointed... (๑¯ํ ᎔ ¯ํ๑)

Other browsers like Brave or Orion are able to integrate adblockers - why Firefox is not able to? Many years this is a most wantet feature for Firefox for iOS but nothing happens.

Surprised this is not already a feature. Unfortunately driving me back to Safari.

I was intending to do a full swap back to Firefox after a few years away especially with it being one of the most performant browsers on my Linux laptop, but after just a few days of using the iOS app I’m not entirely sure it’s worth it given the lack of ad block. I might end up back just using Vivaldi or Safari at this point. 
I understand that apple’s restrictive policies slow you down but even Vivaldi has a baked in ad blocker that you can easily toggle on and off.

Definitely need this

We desperately need all of the desktop ad blockers for FF mobile!

[dace]

I 100% agree, and I really hope this becomes a feature. The lack of adblockers makes using firefox on my phone just not a good option.

The way brave implements blocklists would be a great starting point, having the ability to tailor lists to fit users needs would be a major upgrade to the current browsing experience.

Right thanks. I have no problems at all with Firefox the way it is now. I use browser extensions with extremely low CPU usage to block ads on every website especially YouTube. Brave has a lot of bad reviews on reddit.
