First and foremost in my browser evaluation criteria is "can I run ublock origin or similar on it?"

Last time I tried, Safari was a no-go. The web without an ad blocker is incredibly bad.

You can run 1Blocker[0] on both Mac and iOS. You can also pair it with NextDNS[1] if you want even more blocking.

You see, that's the problem here. Why should I be paying for simple thing like adblocker?

Do you find the piece of software useful?

If this thing is so simple to build perhaps you can build your own. That's free.

There’s a couple of things I don’t understand about your comment.

1) I don’t understand why it’s relevant. Parent commented about the lack of ad blocking and I simply shared a possible solution.

2) I don’t understand why complexity has to be factored in when it comes to pricing.

Should something be free just because it’s simple? Someone has to work and maintain that software.

on Android, Chrome doesn't allow adblockers and Firefox does, so I had to switch on my pc as well to Firefox to have sync

I did the same. Frankly Firefox is still a serviceable browser. It's not nearly as bad as HN hand-wringing would leave one to believe.

my only issue which can be big is that some websites have some actions which just don't work on ff like dropdowns or playing video
