AFAIK, ads can only be blocked in Safari on iOS. I have Adguard on my iPhone, but it only works in Safari – not Firefox, which is the browser I use. So that's very annoying.

Firefox has an additional app called Firefox Focus which installs a content blocker for both Safari and Firefox.

Also for Safari, Magic Lasso AdBlocker does a very good job.

Edge browser on iOS has an option to make use of content blockers in the same way that Safari does. Last I checked Chrome doesn’t.

I’m surprised to hear that Firefox doesn’t have the option to do so.

I don’t know if it’s just muscle memory, but Safari on iOS is still my browser of choice due to the way you open and close tabs in it.

There are DNS blockers for iOS, which block most ads, including in-app ads. Just need to find the right list.
