Firefox rolls out native ad blocking for iOS users

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Mozilla has begun a gradual rollout of its native ad-blocking feature for Firefox on iOS. This functionality was developed by integrating Apple's WebKit Content Blockers, a method necessitated by Apple's architecture that requires all iOS browsers to use WebKit for site rendering. The ad blocker, which is disabled by default, will filter out third-party ads, trackers, and pop-ups, but will not affect ads on search result pages or those displayed on Firefox's own new tab page.
