Funny that the iOS update notes don't mention this at all:

> in this release:

> Other enhancements, stability improvements, and security updates

No mention of efficiency, or adblocking whatsoever!

Is the iOS version of Brave actually the same codebase? My understanding is that all browsers on iOS have to wrap Safari, which would explain the release notes. But I could be wrong here, as I don't develop for iOS.
We use the same adblocking engine (adblock-rust) on all platforms, including iOS, hence the shared memory savings.
The article says:

> The upgrade represents roughly 45 MB of memory savings for the Brave browser on every platform (Android, iOS and desktop) by default
