Is it also possible to make and use your own plugins?

Also I'm a bit confused that browser plugins are apps. Are they actually running as individual apps, or part of the browser?

Can they get taken down?

I'm not sure what the implications of "declarative ad blockers" are. Do you need to manually block them or something?

Does it also have extensions like redirect to old.reddit and such? If so, then it sounds like it would allow more user control than the latest versions of firefox of android, is this really true?

Typically I use my phone when not at home since at home I have a computer to browse the web of course. Is pihole installed on your iphone? Does it work when in a train, in a restaurant somewhere, etc...?

Question about that:

What I personally do most on my phone is browsing the web (when not at home, at home I can do that with a regular computer). On Android I can use Firefox with plugins to block ads, kill overlays, etc... and especially it has the reader mode

AFAIK on iPhone you can only run one Apple-approved browser and all others are a skin around that, and it doesn't have plugins.

To me browsing the web is unusable without those plugins in Firefox. How is browsing the web on an iPhone? Do you get overlays, autoplaying videos and ads on websites or can you block them? Do you get a reader mode?
