Did you give Firefox Focus a try? I guess it gives you Firefox Sync + ad blocking

You can even install Firefox Focus and use it's ad-blocking in Safari. Focus installs their ad-blocking as a system-level blocker (I assume due to iOS rules/requirements) which allows you to just toggle it on for "all browsers" (aka Safari and the Safari based browsers, which is all of them).

How does Safari's blocking compare with what uBlock Origin can do in full-blooded Firefox? For example, does it support CNAME uncloaking?[1]

On a technical level I'm unaware of the details on how Safari blocking works, but anecdotally uBlock Origin is way more capable.

For some reason I didn’t realize Focus supports Firefox Sync! I’ll try it out. Thanks!

I just tried it, and it does not appear that Focus supports Firefox Sync at this time.
