Some apps might use a WebView but any app that's using custom tabs ('Chrome tabs') can take advantage of the browser ad blocking. For Firefox all you have to do is turn it on in Firefox and make it your default browser.

You can already do 4 with sites that support being a PWAs and it's pretty good.

AFAIK most apps use WebView. I use Firefox as default browser (even disabled Chrome, not using it), and still see ads (that is w/o any of the other methods mentioned).

PWA was part of Firefox 58 AFAIK, so you either need Firefox Beta or wait till January.
