    Fuck, wish they released that while I was on iPhone during HS. All the other ad blockers were paid and/or Safari only, and I DESPISE Safari, It’s so bad. I just used Firefox + NextDNS and prayed.

      It’s going to be safari only. There’s no API on iOS for system wide blocking unless it’s a third party VPN server filtering network requests.

        Not surprised, Apple hates devs anyway. Like I said, I used NextDNS to filter internet traffic and used Proton VPN for pirating/hiding my IP/usual shit. I’m on Graphene now so I’m not invested anyway, but maybe I would’ve forced myself to use Safari if uBlock was available for it.

      What’s wrong with Safari on iOS? I prefer Firefox on my computer but on my phone all I want is better adblocking.

        I just hated using it, and I already had a FF account that I use everyday and made syncing things better. Safari’s UI feels gross and ancient to me, and even my iPhone/MacOS loving mom says the way bookmarks/saved pages works is dumb. Plus, I used FF to have a balance of convenience and privacy, since most other options on iOS aren’t privacy friendly.
