Neat! Is there still that rule that everything has to use WebKit under the hood? I’m curious if one could also use firefox extensions on ios. I assume firefox has an iOS app but I guess now that I think about it, I’m not actually sure… 😅
That rule still exists everywhere except the EU, so all browsers just use WebKit. Firefox for iOS doesn’t support extensions. Orion browser has implemented the Webextension api, however it’s proprietary and the apis that are required for Adblock aren’t implemented. You have to use safari with uBlock lite or a browser with a built in adblocker like Brave or Orion
Yes they do - I have very few ads on my iPhone

Buying an iPhone is every so often on my mind because I’m tired of Samsung but oh boy I wouldn’t survive a day with that bullshit
I know right? “Pay me a thousand dollars for me to arbitrarily fuck with your shit in ways so onerous the eu literally made it a crime.”

Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
