Keep telling yourself that. 212,000 trackers and ads blocked on FFFocus so far.

There are different reasons to support alternative browsers. While Firefox on IOS definitely does ad and tracker blocking (which is great!) Some people are concerned that the underlying engine is restricted on IOS to webkit. So it may very well be a better experience for you than safari, but that alone does not satisfy concerns of homogenization in the browser space on Apple devices.

They didn’t lie, focus is indeed also on webkit

It's the same thing on Safari for iOS...
