Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Not sure what your issue is. You can install uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android and have been able to do so for years. Is there something about the Brave ad blocker that is better? I assume, for sites that make money on advertisements?
Noscript stuff is good, I assume some of the tracking protection helps but doesn't go far enough. I often found Noscript broke more sites than good it did me, but I'm glad it exists as an option.
Now, if Mozilla had the sack to include uBlock Origin with the iOS version, that would be something. But, on my Android phone, Firefox is just as good at blocking ads, so far as I can tell, as it is on my Macs. It's just the iOS version that is derpy and lagging behind — so I use Safari and Wipr2 (paid, $4.99, but solo developer who is active on the Fediverse).
For iOS, from my understanding, Apple refuses any custom browsers. So all browsers on iOS are just forks/skins of Safari.
You will never see ublock or anything else on iOS unless side loading takes off
That's exactly the type of shitty ecosystem Apple fans want to be part of and actively support with money.
Included brave adblocker is more efficient(native code vs JavaScript).
Chrome let's you disable or enable JavaScript on individual sites with easy controls. It does not have the granular control like NoScript, but it provides basic functionality for someone like me who disable JavaScript by default.
... Not trying to be a dick for you about your last point, but Apple like to control their users like a dominatrix. There is not a lot of ways for Mozilla to control their iOS version within Apple garden.
