iPhone also caused problem and took 3 months to fix. https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2112/17/news083.html
It seems that quality is getting poor in general.

This hasn’t been true for two years Safari on iOS has supported web extensions for that long.
iOS Safari supports Web Extensions for a year, but does it useful for adblocker? It lacks WebRequest API (from the beginning of Mac Safari).

I keep seeing these handwavy responses about the “limitations” of ad blocking on iOS. But I don’t see any ads with 1Blocker installed.

Which is supported only on Google Pixels. So if I go that route, how can I be sure it won’t suffer from the same bugs re: emergency calls?
...check their git repo's issues? Take 30 seconds and ask in the channel? Due diligence and personal responsibility for what is likely your most important computing device, instead of contracting that out to firms who would stab their grandmother to improve their quarterly numbers.
To be clear, this is not meant to disparage the GrapheneOS devs, but there’s an obvious difference in available resources, so I don’t really expect them to fix hard-to-find bugs in AOSP.

Yeah it's generally fine by just using a Content Blocker app, but your argument about web extensions and adblocker is wrong. "I don’t see any ads" is handwavy response.
I got a Pixel 6 Pro a few months ago, and it's without question the worst phone I've ever had the displeasure to own. - It crashes constantly. - Bluetooth is even buggier than usual. - Fingerprint unlock is very finicky. - The touchscreen isn't designed/calibrated well and leads to constant fat finger presses. - The hotspot is buggy to connect and randomly drops once it does connect. - The phone is so slick (ie low f…

If the purpose of an ad blocker is to not see any ads and unless you can show me a web page that shows ads when I’m running 1Blocker that doesn’t with a supposedly superior solution then how is 1Blocker on iOS inferior?

> Chinese brands (Huawei, Xiaomi, Motorola, etc.) don't inspire confidence for me either. Have you considered OnePlus? Their cameras aren't the best, but they're usually as good as the other top brands in everything else.
I haven't owned one of their devices, but it seems like Linus[1] is not satisfied with their current situation. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GNoelvk6S4

Counter-anecdote: I got a Pixel 6 pro at launch. With the very notable exception of multi week delays in some security updates, it has been the best phone I have ever owned. Great camera, great screen, great battery life, no stability problems, and most importantly, no overheating after which plagued older Pixels under heavy usage. But YMMV - based on a perusal of forum posts, it seems that one's experience, among ot…
Yes and no. The big issue with me is the fingerprint reader behind the screen doesn't always work, and am resorting to punching in my pin about half the time. The Pixel 2 fingerprint reader on the back was the fastest. The Pixel 4 face recognition was often faster than the Pixel 6. Also I use google assistant for driving to get navigation, and when it screws up the destination instead of one step to fix it, it's usua…

I'm also fine with a Content Blocker app (I use local made one) like you. It rarely miss some ads (I don't know is it due to missed rules or API) but ignorable. So I'm not against for Apple/Google to introduce rule based API for efficiency. I just say Web Extensions on Safari seems to irrelevant for this topic. You can say "Content blocker is fine" instead. Technically it's less capable than what webRequests API can…
