Mozilla Adds Built-In Third-Party Ad Blocker to Firefox on iOS
Mozilla has introduced a built-in ad blocker for Firefox on iOS that blocks many third-party ads and trackers using Apple's WebKit Content Blocker technology and the EasyList filter. The feature, off by default, can be enabled in Firefox settings and aims to reduce distractions without blocking ads served directly by websites or in search results. Sponsored content within Firefox tabs is also not blocked. This update offers iPhone and iPad users an integrated option to limit unwanted advertising and tracking while browsing.
