Please bring this to iOS! Or at least just ublock origin.
- Unless things have changed, Apple's policy of generally not allowing programs to download executable code would block this. Browsers are locked into using Apple's allowed web engines because of this, so basically every browser on iOS is safari or re-themed safari
  
  There are some browsers that have extensions on iOS, notably Orion (which unfortunately is iOS and MacOS only, no Windows)
- The Orion browser on iOS currently allows the use of some Firefox and Chrome extensions, including uBlock Origin.
  
  Yup, which is awesome and gives me hope that Firefox can follow… eventually
- Orion Browser should do fine with WebExtension support (from both Chrome and Firefox add-on stores) until Mozilla steps ahead.
  
  Unfortunately they don’t have a Windows version which means no native syncing bookmarks and history
