[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 19 points 1 year ago (1 child) Wait no Firefox on iPhone? Fuck that I'm back in permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago* There is a "firefox" but its just a re-skinned safari basicly, because Apple has some weird requirement of using their "webkit" or whatever, and no extensions allowed on the "firefox". I used an iPhone before (because I was a young adult and iPhones looked shiny) and I was so sad to find out I couldn't use uBlock Origin on it. And then finding out torrent apps are non-existent just made me cry. Yes they do have "adblockers" like Brave or those Adguard thing on safari, but those are dogshit and they broke like half of the time, and many ads get through anyways, especially on youtube (where as uBlock Origin only break sites like 5% of the time). permalink fedilink source parent
