alt Hacker NewsI have been using the Firefox version of it for more than a year by now, basically as soon as it came out. I commented on HN that I was going to do it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37219071
There's no difference whatsoever.
And it's not surprising because on my iOS device I've been using similarly architected content blockers since 2015. There's no issue with declarative ad blocking.
Of course this differs with the kind of sites you visit. So you need to try it on your own. I can believe that perhaps for some people this is a downgrade, but don't automatically assume uBlock Origin Lite won't work well for you.

That's simply not true. Have you ever donde a side by side comparison, or are you just going by feeling?

Really?
Because I find adblockers on iOS are nowhere near as good - they let far more ads through, and they leave far more sites broken so I have to disable the ad blocker for the site to work.
Anyone jumping up and down about MV3 while using Mac or iOS are hypocrites, since MV3 is essentially doing the same thing Safari did years ago, finally matching the security and the privacy in that regard. The reduction in adblocking is so miniscule in aggregate - since declarative approach will always cover all the major advertisers - that it's not even a meaningful "trade-off".
