Yes they can: by allowing app developers to opt-in.
If the app uses a 'Safari View Controller' then it works just fine... That is something app developers can opt-in to, and it also provides the fastest browsing experience for users.
What's holding Twitter back? They've had updates recently.
We just pushed the button on stage at the Mozilla All-hands. It should by live in most countries now. https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1055677337 Ask us anything you want to know about this product. Also, keep an eye on the Github repo. https://github.com/mozilla/focus We are still watching the Keynote but will flip the switch soon.
Why don't you charge for this? I would be more than willing to pay.
"focus must be enabled in settings" Where in settings is it enabled?

So much Swift! All iOS developers I know are hopeful about Swift, but say that they wouldn't use it for a serious, large-scale project yet. (I'm a Unity developer that only occasionally touches native iOS or Android code). What was your experience with it?
Swift is ready. For a much bigger project in Swift, look at https://github.com/mozilla/firefox It was a rough road while we went from Swift pre-1.0 to 2.1 but it was totally worth it.
In any case, Swift has been an eye opener for me, and I'm always keen to read someone else's code to learn more. Thanks for your contributions :)
Does st3fan refer to Sublime Text 3, perchance?

If I may be permitted a n00b question, what are the advantages and disadvantages if any to having more than one content blocker enabled? When I installed this didn't have to disable Crystal, which I already had. Do they just sort of function in series?
I think the first one to reject a specific resource simply wins.
There is no overriding.
There is also no UI to manage multiple blockers. For example it is not possible to add a site to a global whitelist. All blockers have to provide their own UI.
Hopefully this will improve with iOS 10

Small businesses aren't kittens, to be loved and protected regardless of anything. We fight shoplifting even though it disproportionately hurts individuals who rely on this business model - as opposed to big companies that have other, often legal, ways of stealing. We fight it because, like ads, it's a crappy business model .
Imagine if you Twitter ask you to pay per post or per view. Will you still use it ? Would that still be the Twitter we know of ? Many startups have for in their early stage considered ad money as one of their essential revenue stream and have built on it. Imagine if you have to pay everytime a dollar if you want to do a search and a lot more.

Make a donation to the Mozilla Foundation?
That's not as easy, though. :)
edit: ahh, you want a "donate $X" IAP.
They can't build it into firefox on ios but how about building it into firefox on other platforms?
