Firefox on iPhone Can Now Block Ads and Trackers Without Installing an Extension
Brief
Mozilla has introduced a built-in Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS, allowing iPhone users to block many third-party advertisements and ad-related trackers without downloading a separate browser extension.
The new feature is designed to reduce visual clutter from pop-ups, overlays, and third-party advertising scripts that can slow down browsing or interrupt users while reading web content.
It is optional and disabled by default, giving users control over whether ad blocking is enabled in their browser. Firefox users on iPhone can activate the setting by opening Settings, selecting Browsing, and choosing Ad Blocker .
Mozilla said the feature relies on Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker technology, which allows browsers on iOS to apply rules to prevent selected page resources from loading.
