It's slower, which is practically all I care about now that all browsers have the same extension API.

>In addition, Firefox + ublokc origin is pretty much the only option on mobile if you want to block ads, unless you want to fiddle with hosts files or pi-holes or something.

On Android, Blokada, or any browser like Brave. On iOS, Safari has a builtin content filter.

Not really. Safari provides the API that content blocker extensions you install can use.

Sure. You can choose from a myriad of ad blockers, like in any other browser. Firefox Klar or AdGuard are free.
