Ads in Firefox for iOS can now disappear before the page is loaded. Mozilla has started to gradually add a built-in blocker to the browser, so users won't need a separate app or extension. The experimental function has not yet appeared at all and by default is disabled.
After activation, Firefox applies EasyList-based filters and stops some of the advertising requests on the network level. The browser cuts off third-party advertising networks, advertising trackers, banners on sites, pop-ups and elements that overlap the contents of the page. You can enable or turn off the tool in the settings or through the open site menu, explains Mozilla.
The browser will not be able to completely clear the pages. Firefox misses ads in the results of Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and other search engines, as well as sponsorship materials on the homepage and the page of the new tab. Sites use different methods of advertising delivery, and the current set of filters does not recognize every format.
Due to limitations, the built-in feature may work weaker than specialized Wipr or Ghostery solutions. To start the lock in Firefox, one switch inside the browser is enough. Mozilla also did not become the first browser developer with built-in protection on iOS: Brave already offers its own means of blocking advertising and advertising trackers.
