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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Just don't use stock Chrome then.

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

Not on iOS I don't think.

I got excited for a second.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

uBlock seems to mostly work for me. Better than nothing

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

Move to EU )

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