Aren't content blockers limited in some regard? I think I read that one content blocker can only have a limited list of blocks.

uBlock on Firefox doesn't have that limitation, and if you use Firefox on desktop you can important synchronization between those.

Yes and no. Content blockers have a limited number of rules and you’re fundamentally limited by the expressiveness of the filtering language.

But:

* The filtering language is basically just ABP rules.

* There is only a cap per “extension” so apps with lots of rules just expose many extensions.
