Just want to use the internet without having to close the re direct ad and go back twice. I have strict setting on but still has no effect. I just started using iPhones recently and I’m thinking I might just quit and go back to androids. This is basic stuff needed for use. Is there any way to stop this? Appreciate the help.

Due to Apple restrictions on what browser engines can be used on iOS/iPadOS the Firefox on iOS/iPadOS uses webkit as the browser engine (Safari) and not Gecko as the Firefox for desktop and Android uses.

Luckily the Firefox for iOS team has worked around the platform extensions limits and decided to include an ad–blocker right in the app. It's already available to most users, and next week will ship for everyone else too: support.mozilla.org/questions/1604453
