Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Finally! Firefox and Chrome are the only web browsers on iOS that do not have an ad blocker. Even Edge has an ad blocker. I have Firefox installed on iOS for syncing with my other devices, but use Brave as my default because of Firefox's lack of ad blocking. I would love to use Firefox exclusively.

You know, an independent developer ported Gecko and extension functionality onto Firefox!

Just imagine if Mozilla actually did something like this and even diverted a little money from their Venture Capital division into lobbying for this to be accepted on the series!

Still just a theme on Safari. And Safari with Wipr2 blocks everything or just about.

What Firefox needs on iOS is a way to force Apple to allow them to put the actual browser (like they have on Android) on iOS, not just a Safari theme.

Otherwise… what’s the point?

Mozilla won’t be able to change Apple’s mind but EU can. If you need browser level Adblock on iPhone uBlock origin is already available on App Store

I was in the TestFlight, and it's decent. I prefer Wipr2. But if you don't want to spend the money, uBlock will get you most of the way there.
