Firefox can't even be Firefox on iOS and is only a reskinned Safari. So, I'm more concerned that Firefox for iOS even exists since it's kind of a bait&switch to what a Firefox user would expect the browser to be. How would we all fell if we downloaded a browser like Firefox or Chrome on the desktop but to find out it was really a totally different browser?

So playing by the reskinned rules, blockers are not allowed in the way someone using Firefox would expect. Not just blockers, but any extension. It's such a totally not-Firefox experience, that it is even hard to type that it is Firefox.

That’s all very well and good but users want sync between their desktop and mobile browser. Firefox on iOS (which can have a built-in blocker just fine, reskinned Safari or not, see: Firefox Focus) does not have a blocker and thus is wildly unsafe. I will actively steer people away from unsafe browsers.

That’s all peachy but what’s that got to do with anything I had said?
