Tracking can be invisible, while ads are very visual. People think of tracking differently from the display of annoying ads (words matter).

I think part of this confusion comes from referring to this function as tracking protection instead of ad blocking or content blocking. I have changed it now and will have to evaluate for some time to see if it is comparable to safari.

I had standard tracking protection (not strict). ┆Issue is synchronized with this Jira Task Safari (iOS 14.0) + AdGurard (4.0.3) + Firefox Focus (8.1.5):Īcceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)Īd blocking is nearly as good as Safari + 3rd party blockers Not included

Add more customization options for content blocking (perhaps a slider with how strict it is).

It looks like Edge for iOS ships with Adblock Plus but it's not as good as Safari + 3rd party either what AdGuard and or other dedicated Safari content blockers use) by default.

Use more comprehensive block lists (e.g.

Maybe an iOS developer can file more specific feedback to Apple on what would be required)

Inherit Safari content blockers somehow (I'm guessing there are currently API restrictions against this.

I would switch my default browser if Firefox were able to perform as well in this regard. Let me know if you see an area that you think warrants a break down.Content blocking in Firefox on iOS is not as good as Safari with 3rd party content blockers (e.g. if there is an an area that has so many ads that wading through them is a real pain then we can break up that area. So I decided we would not take detailed location info that would allow that kind of detailed geo-searching by other members. So many of our members are deep in the closet, or otherwise VERY conscious of privacy.

And it was a tough decision, but in the end I decided not to go with geocoding like that because of the privacy concerns. My suggestion is so when we search for personal adds, I believe it till be VERY convenient to be able to have the option to search not only by state but also by city (or millage) and gender. I find it annoying that when I search the personals and enter the state and F/M/CPL/T I still have to comb trough adds that far from me. I'm just barely getting familiar with the new layout, but I want to bring one point that has gotten to me in the past.
