View iOS Firefox Disconnect tracking lists

I much prefer to use Firefox over Safari on my Mac, but I'm unsure how private it is on my iPhone. For instance, with Safari I have access to Wipr content blocker, which uses Easy List and Easy Privacy, but on Firefox I have only the internally-provided list Disconnect. provides. I don't know what list it uses, or even it it uses a common list instead of creating its own.

Because of this I currently do not use Firefox on my iPhone. What lists does Disconnect implement?

This is resolved. iOS/Firefox/Disconnect does not implement any common lists - it creates its own list, which can be seen at: https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection/blocked

So, the question is resolved. It's not bad for an integrated list built right into the browser, but I think I get more protection with iOS/Safari/Wipr. The Disconnect list has 2,568 entries that it blocks, while the combination of Easy List and Easy Privacy has 91,485 entries.

I'll leave the iOS/Firefox app on my iPhone to use in case the iOS/Safari/Wipr blocks some content I need, but I think I'll stay with iOS/Safari until iOS Firefox allows some content blockers.
