Ublock origin also works better on Firefox

You can, but you should just switch to Firefox or accept ads in Chromium Browsers.

I can imagine that in the long run it will get harder for their forks to block ads with any extension.

I can't wait for Ladybird in the future .

Completely anecdotally, but I've noticed that in the last few months, ublock origin installs on the Mozilla addons site has gone up. So i think people are already moving.

Firefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.

all you have to do is circumvent the security settings in your browser and suppress warning messages

I think this is a very important point that too few people are raising and it's getting buried under the spam of "switch to Firefox" messages. Yes, switching to Firefox is an option. But clearly some people don't want to do it, and we give them these workarounds without saying what they really do and without highlighting that they are potentially dangerous. You use your browser for a large part of your interaction with your computer, so any downgrade in security is going to be significant. To me, the short-term implications of this are far more important than the longstanding Chrome-vs-Firefox discussion.

People will do anything, but use Firefox

Blame Apple for that, as for the longest time they only allowed using the Safari engine on iOS. Apparently that's still the case outside the EU now, meaning Mozilla would need to maintain two versions on iOS.

On any other operating system, Firefox is by far the best at blocking ads with uBlock Origin.

Why bother? Chromium browsers suck.

you can enable ublock in chrome by downloading firefox from chrome, installing it, then installing ublock in firefox and finally removing chrome

Let it go bro. Just switch to Firefox & co. Or at least use it less for something that does not require ad-blocking.

The UBlock Origin Lite app (currently in Testflight beta but seems to be full, but hopefully coming to the app store soon) works great with iOS Safari. I use that on iOS and Firefox on the desktop, which turns out to be a great combo if you have password and bookmark management separate.

Firefox Focus is also great as the default browser on the phone to avoid links opening from Meta or Google in Safari.

Running the «Always in Container» extension in Firefox gives the same effect on desktop and avoids opening a link in the wrong container. Highly recommended: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-in-container/

My employer uses Google Workspace for everything (email, calendar, video, etc) so we pretty much have to use Chrome for that stuff. I still use Firefox where I can…

In what world does google docs etc not work in firefox? They're webapps

Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.

Is the uBlock Origin Lite TestFlight app only for Safari or is it system wide?

I'd love to benefit from it while using Firefox on iOS.

Yep, I wish Firefox stepped up in this matter, since their competition can implement decent adblockers on iOS, while dealing with the exact same limitations Apple has set.

Use librewolf or fennec (Firefox forks)

Ios is never going to allow this.
The best option is pihole and vpn

Ads are necessary curse for humanity. The general mass will never switch to open source or challenging alternatives and it sux

There is no such option "accepting ads". I will do everything in my power to block any type of ad in every device i own, no matter the diffuculty.

On iOS the Orion browser lets you use Firefox or chrome mods.
