Firefox on iPhone and iPad now has an ad-blocking feature that helps make browsing less cluttered. It blocks many third-party ads and ad-related trackers before they load, so you’ll see fewer pop-ups, overlays, and other distractions while browsing the internet.
In this article, let us learn how Firefox’s ad blocker works on iOS devices and how to turn on this feature.
FYI, this feature isn’t available on Firefox for Android, since you can install an ad blocker extension there. However, the iOS version of Firefox doesn’t support browser extensions.
How Firefox’s Ad-blocker Works on iOS
Firefox uses Apple’s WebKit Content Blocker system along with the EasyList filter list to block ads. Also, it works together with Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection to help keep your browsing smoother, cleaner, and more private.
How to Turn on Ad Blocker in Firefox for iOS
1. Open the Firefox app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Go to Settings and tap Browsing.
3. Turn on Ad Blocker using the toggle.
Note that the Ad Blocker in Firefox is selective, so while it removes many distractions, it does not block everything. It blocks most third-party ads and ad-related trackers on web pages, but it does not block ads served directly by the site you’re visiting, ads in search results, or sponsored shortcuts and content on the Firefox new tab page.
Final Thoughts:
Firefox on iOS can cut down a lot of ad clutter without extensions. It won’t block everything, but it does help remove many trackers, pop-ups, and overlays, especially when paired with Enhanced Tracking Protection. Turning it on only takes a few taps.
