A major use case seems to be ads in phone and tablet apps.

I also use ublock origin in Firefox on my Android phone though!

Makes sense if you're on iphone.

A browser plugin doesn't help if you have apps with integrated ads. (Btw, I know users who configure Android to use a publicly available ad-blocking DNS server instead of Pi-Hole)
Ublock origin is available on ios Safari and you can configure custom dns on ios. Just seems weird you guys only mention android
