Port uBlock Origin to WebKit

[AnonymousUser98]

iOS really needs a good ad blocker. Edge and Brave have built-in browsers, but they're nowhere near as good. And all the ad blockers on the App Store lock most features behind a paywall (features that are free on other platforms). There's even a fake app called "uBlock". You can tell it's fake because it has in-app purchases.
Someone should port uBlock Origin to WebKit so that it can run on iOS. It's definitely possible; there are lots of paid ad blockers on the App Store, and they all work with Safari.

Use uBlock Origin Lite.

uBO is a browser extension, NOTHING BEYOND.

Wow! iOS finally has a good ad blocker!
When was this released? I checked the app store within the last 2 months.
