Firefox for iOS Gets Built-In Ad Blocker
Key Points:
- Mozilla is introducing an ad blocker in Firefox for iOS that blocks many third-party ads and ad-related trackers using EasyList and Apple's WebKit Content Blocker technology.
- Unlike Safari ad blockers, which only work within the Safari browser, Mozilla integrated this feature directly into the Firefox app for iOS.
- The ad blocker does not block ads served by the site being visited, ads in search results, or sponsored content such as shortcuts shown on new tabs.
- Ad blocking is disabled by default and can be enabled through the Firefox app settings under Settings > Browsing > Ad Blocker.
