Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox

www.theverge.com Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox

Mozilla is “extremely disappointed.”

Mozilla is unhappy because the use of browser engines other than WebKit will be restricted to the EU, forcing them to develop two different apps.

For an independent browser like Firefox, managing two browsers is not easy, so it can be forgiven that this could be seen as almost harassment.

Also, the fact that the use of browser engines other than WebKit is limited to iOS means that the use of WebKit is still forced on iPadOS, which also increases the effort for Mozilla.

My wife has an iPad and one of the things I hate the most is that you can't install adblock extensions into Firefox on it like you can on Android. Which is a thing that has made using the browser on the phone wayyyy more enjoyable.
- I use DNS level blocking for blocking ads on iOS devices.
  
  Yeah not comparable. There is so much cosmetic blocking and also many sites will just load ads from the same domain.
  
  Like YouTube iirc.
  
  Which service do you use (if any) for it? Personally I use controld but I hear NextDNS is the most popular
  
  NextDNS. Pretty cheap and supports DNS over HTTPS.
- The Orion browser for iOS/iPadOS supports both Firefox and Chromium extensions, however, the support is quite buggy and limited. Nonetheless, a valiant effort by Orion devs.
- I use AdGuard both on my Android phone and iPad. Not quite as good on the iPad because Apple doesn't make it easy, but definitely makes a huge difference. For me, $30 a year is worth it and you can use it on 3 devices. I got sick of the ads in apps that were downright disturbing in some cases and reporting them didn't do a whole lot. Browser extensions can do a lot more to tidy up the experience, but I will take what I can get.

  You can pay a lifetime licence for 10$ https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/adguard-pro-adblock/id1126386264?l=en-GB
  
  I ended up getting it from them directly. I am on Android 90% of the time and don't pay for the license from the Apple store. No idea if that one is a single device or the same as the multi-device. I tend to not do things from the Apple store as I don't have an iPhone and they seem to want or assume you have one. Just like I can never use their watch (not that I want one).
  
  Why are you paying per year? You can get lifetime adguard licenses for cheap from stack social.
