Reminder that e.g. Firefox mobile has full extension support und as such can run uBlock Origin.

DNS blockers are nice, but they can only do so much against tracking without overblocking.

Yeah, Firefox on mobile is great. It's horrible if I have to use stock Chrome for anything, ads everywhere, layers of ads, fullscreen popups, the horror

Just don't use stock Chrome then.

For me it only opens if I have to click some Wifi portal confirmation.

I used it for 10+ years, since it was called fennec. Unfortunately on mobile Firefox chews through battery (might be something with hardware rendering, since it isn't as smooth either). Across at least 5 devices.

A few years ago I switched to Samsung's browser (based on chrome). Better battery, smoother scrolling, address bar at the bottom... good enough for me.

Yeah. I regret the iPad purchase. I should have gotten the pixel tab...

I use "video lite" & mullvad dns blocking for my youtube and that works quiet decent.

Try the Orion browser , it has support for extensions, including uBlock

Can install all extension from mozilla or even google chrome store. But almost no work.

uBlock seems to mostly work for me. Better than nothing

Great! How do I add add-ons on iOS?

I didn't know about iOS - Firefox only seems to allow this on android unfortunately.

Calling it full extension support is a bit misleading. Some desktop extensions do not work on mobile Firefox, although most work
