One of my biggest annoyances about my iPad is how much less effective the content blockers on Safari are than on real Firefox and ublock origin that I have on my Android phone and had on my previous windows tablet. Also iOS “Firefox” can’t run any adblockers, whether ublock origin or iOS content blockers so I have to use Safari and put up without consent-o-matic or tab sync

For example, ublock origin is able to patch out anti-adblock scripts that Safari content blockers cannot. Try tvtropes for an example. Works fine with firefox and ublock origin, displays a “allow ads of subscribe” instead of the content on safari.



Kagi's Orion browser is a far as I know the only one on iOS that supports proper Firefox extensions, including ublock and others. You may want to give that a try.


There is no real support for uBlock Origin on Orion - it's still very buggy and doesn't work. They do have their own adblocking built-in though.


You might want to try wblock (https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock).
