Adblock on iOS? (programming.dev)

Would really like to jump ship from Brave back to Firefox, but the lack of ad blocking on iOS is somewhat of a blocker.

I’ve tried strict tracking protection and Firefox focus, but it doesn’t quite get the job done without filter lists.

Do we know of any solutions or projected feature releases that could improve the situation?

There are VPNs that advertise they do adblock. I haven’t seen them work all that well, but you can give a few a try.

It is supposed to do the entire phone’s outgoing connections, but I still saw quite a few ads. This was with Nord VPN and a dedicated app named Adblock.

Proton VPN seems to work well for me, using Firefox on iOS

Nord VPN worked for what I wanted it for. But the adblock portion of it was questionable on iPhone.
