I currently use Brave on my iPhone. It's pretty good, since it has built-in ad and tracker blocking; but if there's something better I'd like to know.

EDIT: I have just figured out a way to make the SnowHaze UX work for me. Here's my homepage:

Tabliss Web in SnowHaze browser

SnowHaze, for those who don't know, is a privacy-focused FOSS browser for iOS, iPadOS, and (I believe) macOS, which includes features such as:

  • Built-in ad and tracker blocking
  • Custom content blocking
  • No telemetry
  • Custom search engines
  • Custom homepages
  • JavaScript blocking
  • HTTPS forcing
  • XSS and tracking URL warnings
  • Passcode/biometric lock
  • Cookie blocking
  • Custom user agents
  • Canvas blocking
  • Idk, probably more

Aren't you able to use ublock with iOS firefox?

Unfortunately, no. On Firefox you can't add content blockers, but rather the only option is using their built-in "strict" or "standard (default)" Enhanced Tracking Protection which relies on Disconnect's filter list.
