I hope you reconsider adding actual ads blocking capabilities, especially in light of iOS 14, because otherwise for me Firefox for iOS will be just a bookmarks synchroniser. How to install the extension on iOS 1) Open Firefox and click the menu icon (three lines in a row at the top left of the window). Some ads on some websites are indeed blocked, but it's only those websites that play nice, and that use the well behaved ads exchanges.ĭie-hard Firefox users such as myself are then left with DNS-level blocking, via Pi-hole / NextDNS, however these too are insufficient, and TBH I'm leaning towards just using Safari with content blockers. then install a decent content blocker for Safari, like Wipr, compare and contrast - and note that content blocking in Safari is pretty dumb, and can be circumvented too, so this bar is pretty low.įirefox for iOS fails that test and fails hard. To test how inadequate ads blocking protections are in Firefox for iOS, you could do so with a site such as: NextDNS's " Ads & Trackers Blocklist" list has 64,824 domains in it, so we can do a lot more. And this doesn't count language specific, or other third party lists.

This is good, however Easy List + Easy Privacy have around 25000 domain name entries for blocking, and at the time of writing I'm counting ~96,000 content blocking rules (including HTML and cookies). Will you be supporting any other browsers besides Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera We are working towards Safari on macOS support. The Disconnect list, at the time of writing, has 5135 domain entries.
