uBlock Origin does basically the same thing Brave's adblock does only better and more customizable.

For iOS and iPadOS try out Orion Browser by Kagi. Great built-in adblocker and they have (very) experimental support for desktop extensions.

Does this also occur with Firefox forks? They might have fixed it.

It's the same as someone not voting because they are only one person. Sure, you're only one person, but when millions of people have that exact same thought it makes a difference.

We combat the eventual end of it by getting more people to use it. The more people using it the more support it gets.

An iPhone is a give-up on privacy because you don't get alternatives. If you don't like your stock OS on an Android phone you can just switch OS (for example GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, ect.). If you don't like the normal YouTube app you can just sideload a different one. You don't get this kind of freedom with an iPhone. A prime example of this is when, during the Hong Kong Riots where Apple pulled an app that assisted protesters.

Honestly had no idea this existed, cool!

uBlock Origin actually doesn't work at all on Orion, it's just that the browsers built-in ad blocker is very good.

Could crosspost it.

Yes, ideally browsers would be privacy-centric by default, but they aren't. I assume that in this community people are okay with having to mess with settings to have more privacy.

uBlock origin should have per-site assuming it works the same as on desktop.

I use Librewolf as my daily driver, Mullvad's browser for things of questionable legality, and Tor for anything else.
