It's a shame Firefox on iOS has failed/refused to support third-party content filters [1] since 2019. Just because they can't bring Gecko doesn't mean they shouldn't try to gain mindshare for the Mozilla Firefox brand on one of the biggest platforms, yet they refuse to put in the resources.

I have used Wipr for years, and now Wipr 2. Worth the small amount to keep intrusive ads, and it is cross platform.

Mostly using Wipr 2. Brave works very well but Safari seemed maybe slightly snappier (I know the browser engine is the same). Tried this but seems like it blocked less than Wipr 2 in a quick spot check.

Is this any better than AdGuard?
I’ve heard it’s best to avoid running both but unsure whether this version of uBlock is worth it.

I like that I can use uBlock Origin in Orion on iOS but interacting with any addon in it feels finicky, so I keep it at a pretty minimal level (compared to how aggressively I block on desktop, anyways). Anything else is definitely welcome though so looking forward to it.

AdGuard on iOS has worked for me for years in it's free form. It's script based so works like uBlock Origin on desktop.

It’s fast but doesn’t block all ads for me.

Firefox Focus as a content filter has always worked for me on Safari. Nowadays I mostly use Brave, though.

This beta is full :(((

I’ve been using the mullvad adblock via pure dns on iOS and I haven’t seen an ad in years. Is there a reason others are installing a separate app?

Works great both on my mac and iphone. Raymond rocks!

uBlock is fantastic at what it does. I'm looking forward to this. I'm currently using both Wipr 2 and AdGuard together which has worked well. AdGuard allows user defined cosmetic filters that I've come to rely on more and more in the browser, and it makes certain mobile sites so much better. Will uBlock on iOS support this?

It is
deeply disappointing how poorly Apple implements privacy tools and technologies.
To wit:
It is 2025 and you cannot configure a DoH endpoint in Safari on either iOS or OSX.
Further, enabling DoH in iOS involves an experts-only plist file download which has many esoteric failure modes that are difficult to track and have poor (nonexistent ?) documentation.
Finally, any regular person (like my wife) will have an almost immediate need to toggle adblocking DNS on and off for (weird site that breaks) but, of course, that is not possible without going through the entire plist file workflow twice (once to remove (not disable) the existing profile and once to re-download it).
Ridiculous. Embarrassing.

arrghh it's full - how to get in?
by swasheck on 6/22/25, 1:53 PM
i’m currently just using a nextdns profile after using adguard for a long time. i switched because i hoped that i would stop getting the annoying admiral modals telling me to turn off my ad blocker. do any of the these solutions trick the anti adblock solutions?

Works on MacOS as well. Not just iOS.
by erdaltoprak on 6/21/25, 11:05 AM
Works fine so far!
I wish they could add the main settings in the app view but that’s a minor point

It's annoying how this adds a puzzle piece icon next to the url all the time.
by dom96 on 6/21/25, 11:00 AM
Nice, seems to work pretty well
by seam_carver on 6/22/25, 5:08 AM
AdGuard doens't work for me so I'm excited on macOS
by toastal on 6/22/25, 3:35 PM
I want any version of uBlock on the Sailfish OS browser

Can we get a link directly to the project instead of this testflight page?
