Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Not even technically sufficient enough to describe why FF is better, but I switched couple years ago and have zero complaints since then. I just like that it is the last truly independent browser out there.
Also, FF on mobile allows extensions, so adblockers in mobile browser 👌
Just grabbed FF on iOS, how would an adblocker work? UBlock origin doesn’t have a clear install path (if possible at all?)
Afaik, most of the mobile browsers on iOS are just webkit (aka Safari) with their respective browser skin/UI.
From what I can search though, Firefox Focus on iOS has adblocker built in: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/firefox-focus-privacy-browser/id1055677337. Not sure if the built-in adblocker is UBO though.
Unfortunately, I'm only an occasional Apple user, so this is the extent of my knowledge. Hope this helps.
Thanks anyway, other than an emergency Reddit search I never use safari anyway - websites on mobile are absolutely shocking to use.
