Super misleading. You can block websites manually, but you can’t add an adblocker to Chrome - so if you want an ad free experience, then you’re forced to use safari, a historically subpar browser - but worse, it’s vendor lock in.

If this article is true, this is some terrifically anti competitive behavior

Chrome on iOS uses the same browser engine as safari; it's vendor lock in regardless of what you do.
I believe that’s Chrome’s decision - like on Android.

I’m using Firefox Focus with its native Content Blocker.

All browsers on iOS are merely rebranded safari. No such thing as a subpar browser IMO, just subpar websites that require browser features no one should need.
I'll take the one with about a 1/4 the energy usage and proper tail calls in Javascript.

Think those are related? I think they are. Who knows. I just respect tail call elimination.
