I am tied to Microsoft Edge for sync between desktop and phone, and Microsoft Edge on iOS has AdBlock built in. But looking at this it seems inevitable that Edge will retain V2.

As to switching to Firefox? I'd love to, but Firefox on iOS refuses to put in an AdBlocker. Yea, you can use Firefox Focus but that one doesn't sync.

I don't understand Mozilla's stance on this.

Firefox doesn't exist on iOS, it's just reskinned safari. It's not Mozillas fault that Apple won't let you install a different web engine.

Edge on iOS, which is also reskinned Safari, has AdBlock Plus integrated.

So it IS possible.

Safari allows some ad blocking but nothing close to ublock.
