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.

@Shaun What's the problem? Inserting a referal code to make some money doesn't harm the user and helps funding the project. No, software doesn't write itself. At least, not yet. It is much less intrusive than what Mozilla did in the past by bundling shady addons. And the Trust Pilot ratings are just silly. Some aren't even about the browser but the search engine, and those who are are mainly complaints about having to solve captchas and some embedded things not working out of the box. Yes, that's what you get for privacy. It is hard to block out some components and keep the website working, and seldomly it doesn't work as expected. Last, criticizing Brave for being based on an open source project started by Google while Mozilla is mainly funded by and dependent on Google is beyond laughable. But of course you are free to use whatever you're happy with. Just know that if Firefox implemented proper privacy protection some things will break as well, and having to solve more captchas is almost certain. Comfort or privacy, that  it a choice you have to make for yourself, regardless of the Browser you use.
