It's available for mobile as well. You find it in the extension manager
For which mobile and what extensions manager?
I'm blocking ads phone-wide, I just don't use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.
Firefox, mull, fennec, etc
Orion on iOS has some support for FF extensions—Ublock seems to work more or less
Couldn't you just use an adblocker extension in Safari?
Firefox for Android has uBlock Origin (and lots of other useful extensions). You do need to set Firefox as the default app for YouTube links, but after that it works perfectly.
I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.
I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn't, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.
Bottom line is I don't see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is "surprised more people aren't using" it like it's the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It's best for PC but not for mobile.
You've brought a strawman into the conversation, but in short, uBlock is best maintained and tends to be the most robust. Your solution works too
firefox exists on mobile too
