The big thing holding me back from Firefox on iPhone is the ad blocking side of things. Is there a way to block ads besides vpn based methods?

I LOVE Firefox and used Firefox Focus for its privacy and asblocking stuff. But now I’ve switched back to private mode Safari+Wipr and it’s amazing.

I still love you, Firefox!

Well, there is NextDNS (and other providers, such as AdGuard DNS, rethinkDNS, and AhaDNS). It's not a VPN, and it's what I'm currently using alongside ProtonVPN (through WireGuard).

You could also try a Pi-Hole.

I just got a new router that puts the whole network behind Mullvad via WireGuard ... getting the headless pihole to play nice was fun, but I'm pretty stoked that my phone now falls under that umbrella.
