Yeah, it's one of those life-changing projects. It's so important and trusted that it should actually be integrated into the browsers themselves so that it can do its job even more effectively. Sadly, conflicts of interest prevent that. It should probably come pre-installed with every browser instead.

I wish iOS Firefox had support for it. Seems Apple doesn't allow extensions. I told all my friends about uBlock Origin but so many of them use iPhones. I still install it on every browser I come across and everyone is happy with it.



I wish there was a uBlock app for iOS, similar to other ad-blockers that are available on iOS. I'd be willing to pay for such an app and be able to use any browser on iOS (including FF) w/o worrying about ads.


The new AdGuard iOS beta has a web extension component and it is now very close to ublock in terms of functionality. So it’s coming soon. Between AdGuard and NextDNS I don’t see hardly any ads.


I use Firefox Focus and the Lockdown Privacy app on iOS. Not the same experience but achieves a good result.
