Firefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.

As they note in the article, this is a temporary measure, I.E. guaranteed to break soon.
Start switching to Firefox now so you’re done when they finally turn it of. Ignore any other Chromium based browsers, it’s unlikely they have the manpower to extend MV2 beyond what Google supports with their LTS releases.

Blame Apple for that, as for the longest time they only allowed using the Safari engine on iOS. Apparently that’s still the case outside the EU now, meaning Mozilla would need to maintain two versions on iOS.
On any other operating system, Firefox is by far the best at blocking ads with uBlock Origin.

Orion browser on iOS supports Firefox and Chrome plugins. It’s relatively new still, but I’ve been using it without any issue with uBO

Apple limits mobile browsers a shit ton. When you get Firefox on iOS, you don’t get Firefox, you get what’s basically a safari front end. This is the reason you can install uBlock Origin or other extensions on the android version of Firefox, but be unable on the iOS version.

On iOS the Orion browser lets you use Firefox or chrome mods.

Just install AdGuard. Works great.

Completely anecdotally, but I’ve noticed that in the last few months, ublock origin on the Mozilla addons site has gone up. So i think people are already moving.
