The iPhone doesn't support ad blocking.

It very much does.

I didn't know this and I now see I can block ads on Safari on iOS which is great.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for Firefox on iOS.

Elaborate? I'm not aware of a way to block in-app ads, or ads served when using Chrome / Safari / Firefox on iOS without using a DNS based ad blocker.

You can block ads in Safari or apps using SFSafariViewController by installing a content blocker. You can use a VPN-based blocker to perform DNS blocking on-device.

Devices such as Amazon Fire, Apple TV, your television, DVR, etc, etc do not support installing ad blockers.

None of those really have a browser on them, though…

Half the point of pihole is to block trackers (not just ads).

That means blocking Google Analytics, Crashlytics, and whatever other unnecessary analytics / reporting that apps on Apple TV, your smart TV, etc use.
