  Apple doesn’t allow you browser choice. It’s not actually Firefox in that context. It’s webkit with a different skin.

    Actually, you CAN have adblock on Apple. Kagi’s browser, Orion, has the option for extensions like Ublock Origin.

      I said you cannot chose any other browser engine

      Thank you! Struggled with only Brave as an option which I would rather not use.

      For anyone else, you do not need a Kagi account, just change the default search provider in the settings.

  iOS is different because all browsers are basically Safari but with a different skin. You can install Firefox but the version with the more privacy built in called Firefox Focus. It installs an extension called Firefox Focus. It will block ads in Safari and Firefox.

    Damn, wish I knew this while I was stuck on iOS. I hated Safari and refused to use it so I just lived with ads until I started using NextDNS
