There's mull for android. On ios you can use firefox focus, ddg, or brave
On Android, you can also use Firefox and install unlock origin. And dark reader. And whatever other extension you want.
While true, this is a relatively new feature on the Firefox app. Yes, I know it was available on Nightly for awhile.
uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android is not new. I'd guess at least 10 years old at this point?
Ugh, you lot are so pretentious.

You replied to a comment about uBlock Origin saying it's new. It's not new, it's been one of the supported extensions since forever. Your link explains that they are opening up to support all extensions, but I don't get how that's relavant to a discussion about uBlock Origin which has always been supported.
I just automatically downvote anyone I see accusing anyone of being "pretentious" now.
It's a policy that serves me well
I have been using uBlock Origin and DarkReader on https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/ for years. Fennec is the Firefox version for android.
To be fair, Firefox on Android used to support all extensions. Then they killed it for some boneheaded reason, brought back ublock and a handful of others, and recently opened it up fully again.
There’s a million ad blockers for iOS safari also.
