It's on Chromium so I will not use them

Only reason I use it is because it’s seemingly the only browser on iOS that blocks YouTube ads, and allows for background play without paying for Premium.

If anyone knows how to do the same via Firefox (iOS), I’m all ears!

Orion Browser can use Firefox extensions on iOS.

There’s a Safari extension in the App Store called vinegar that can do those things. AdGuard is another Safari extension that works well as an adblocker.

These two are exactly what I use on iOS also

Thanks, I’ll check them out!

Based on the description, this is the one you’re referring to?

No extension on iOS because apple prohibits browser engines from being distributed in their apps. Every browser there is a reskin of Safari
