I specifically recommend Firefox because Google's recent changes (depreciating manifest v2) will make UBO less and less effective over time on any Chromium based browser (which is basically every browser you've heard of that isn't Firefox). So if you want the best ad blocking experience, Firefox is the only real option going forward.

Not iOS

iOS uses Safari for webview and does not allow any other browsers, so other "browsers" you see on iOS are just Safari wrapped in different skins. That means their usual extensions wouldn't work.

There's a system-level content blocker feature that can block ads for Safari in iOS, but I don't know if there is anything quite comparable to uBlock Origin available.

orion browser is webkit based but supports firefox/chromium extensions, so it works with ublock

I literally haven't seen a pop-up that I didn't need to manually enable in years. Didn't realize they were still an issue...

My college website uses a pop-up to send me to the library site... just why? I need to allow the pop-up everytime

They're useful for devs, they can allow for quick settings access without shifting around the UI a whole bunch.

I like them, when they can be closed with escape.
