Lol - I installed and paid... And then realized I havent opened safari since I got the phone. I assume it only works in safari and not chrome?

I clearly need more sleep...

It might work for chrome since safari is actually the only browser on iOS.

Chrome iOS app is just a skin over safari with some of the history/bookmark/etc syncing.

While Chrome uses the same rendering and JS engines as Safari under the hood, it doesn't share all features (like the extensions API). I think only DNS-based ad blockers work for both and content API-based ad blockers like Magic Lasso don't.
