I haven’t bothered working out how to install one on mobile. I just don’t visit websites with shitty ads.

Just use the Brave browser. No plugins necessary.
It has poor compatibility on the iOS version that I've got installed, sadly.
Firefox on mobile supports uBlock Origin
On iOS, every browser is required by Apple to use WebKit. I just tried it again myself and FireFox on iPhone has no ublock Origin add on possibility.

Firefox Focus does work as an alternative.

Apple created a special system-level API for Safari Content Blockers. Apps like Firefox Focus, AdGuard, 1Blocker, Wipr can register filtering rules with Safari using this API. That’s why Focus can block ads/trackers inside Safari if you enable it under Safari

Didn’t this change recently?

In EU only, and to my knowledge no mainstream browser vendor has shipped a real browser with their own engine yet. Too much work, and they need to maintain two different versions (EU and non-EU). The whole situation is a mess.
Only for EU.
use orion browser? or ubo lite on safari
Safari on iOS support uBlock origin too
