I use 1Blocker. It exists for both macOS and iOS. It uses Safari's native content blocking API, so it's supposedly fast. As far as I know, the developer is not engaged in any shady dealings with ad companies. The only downside is that it's not free.
The Dev did something shady on iOS by releasing a second version just because he split up the lists.

I wonder if we see it on mobile platforms someday. Not having a norootneeded adblocker on android or ios is very sad

Not having a norootneeded adblocker on android or ios is very sad Not sure if this is what you mean exactly, but uBlock Origin (as well as a lot of other Firefox extensions) can be installed[1] on Firefox for Android.[2] [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin...

One third-party filter list for uBO that I absolutely love is Web Annoyances Ultralist: https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances , for unsticking fixed headers, floating boxes, and elements like that. I also use uBO for injecting my own styles on pages, like adding an absolute timestamp to github: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15743008

One thing that block my migration to firefox is the zoom thing. In chrome I can zoom pages and it stick (I need bigger fonts everywhere). Can't replicate the same with safari or firefox.
In Firefox the zoom levels are saved per website. It has had that feature for a long time. Or do you want to zoom once and have it zoomed on all websites you visit?

The first plugin I install on a freshly installed system with Firefox is uBO. After that I harden the browser by changing stuff in about:config. Chrome has never been an option for us with privacy in focus. The guys behind uBO should get some price or something.

As expected it will increase any font that doesn't meet your minimum size.
If you're fine with per-site settings, just use the zoom option.
> The original prototype was to develop an idea I had about using jump indices in a TypedArray for quickly matching hostnames (or more generally strings)[1]. Once I had a working, un-optimized prototype, I realized I had ended up with something formally named a "trie": " rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie> , hence the name. I have no idea whether the implementation here or one resembling it has been do…
> So I heavily experimented with squeezing performance out of a JS-based trie-implementation for LZString. Incidentally, I did write a JS/WASM version of LZ4 block encoding[1] (also used in uBO). I do wonder if it could be of interest for the LZString project. My understanding is that the output of LZ4 compression would need to be further processed to make it JS string-friendly (for localStorage purpose). Maybe worth…

Try Blokada, it is even open source. Like pi-hole for android
Adaway was great, but that required root of course
