and these used to be selling points for android (flagships, cheap phones have the benefit of cost)

while iOS now has Ublock origin for safari.

Seems like if you pay a premium, you should be in the other team

That's uBlock Lite though, which has to comply with Chromium standards and is watered-down vs the real uBlock Origin.

Yea, probably Firefox in future could have it on iOS, but they need to port their Browser engine. Even though iOS allows that now, browsers are still using webkit
