      I assume they’re setting their own DNS, because they’re stuck with Safari as the engine on iOS

      nope. The project to port gecko to ios has been ‘in progress’ for years, but AI takes priority.

      I think it’s more in the sense of Firefox on iOS is pretty much the last horse to cross the finish line in terms of ad blocking. These things have been available on iOS for years now, including from gorhill himself.

    IIRC chrome and Firefox are just reskinned safari browsers. Because apple.
