Does ad blocking affect search engine ads? > No. Ads shown on search engine results pages are not blocked.

A lot of the search results on top of Google are there to scam you, providing phone numbers for pass through services that charge $ for it, like flight cancellation:

So this omission should absolutely be addressed, but they probably cannot because of the Google Search contract...

If there's someone at Mozilla reading this: turn it on already! I want to get off Orion, it's so buggy, but the internet is unusable without an ad blocker.

Which is why I think we need to be less critical everytime Mozilla tries to make money some other way. They need to become more self sufficient in order to improve Firefox.

Only to see that this is neither generally available, nor can you use it without enabling telemetry. I don't know who makes these decisions inside Mozilla, but I just don't get it.

I don't understand, maybe i'm missing something...

[1] "Ad Blocker won’t block every ad. Ads served directly by the site you’re visiting and ads shown in search results will still appear."

  Introducing Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS [Non-GA]

?

"ads shown in search results will still appear"

Is that for a technical reason or a commercial one?

Brave is doing it, Firefox can do it too. And maybe I can recommend that kind of browser to the average Joe again.

Absolutely amazing, works inside webviews (e.g. netnewswire).

v3 just released.

This feature is experimental and is being introduced to the Firefox user base through a progressive rollout. It may not yet be available to all users. Additionally, remote improvements must be enabled.

Apparently, you can only block ads if you allow Mozilla telemetry. Thanks, dicks.

Can we get tab management on iOS too please?
