Introducing Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS

Also they say they will continue to show Firefox’s sponsored links and ads. So, they’ll continue to show first party ads and google’s ads? And likely they won’t be able to keep up with meta’s anti ad blocking. That’s most ads on the internet. No thanks, I’ll stick to ublock origin lite on safari.

There's no reason to block Firefox's sponsored links because you can just turn those off if you don't want to see them.

There's no reason to hope there is a way to tell a particular source of ads to turn itself off when you can just use a non-gimped ad block on a non-gimped platform and block all ads without caring if any of them are cooperative or adversarial.

You don't see the hypocrisy in blocking other people's ads while showing your own as well those of partners that fund you?
