Honestly the lack of ad blockers in Vanadium pushes me towards Firefox even though the devs say that Firefox is far less secure. So many web sites are just hard to use on mobile without an ad blocker so I'm curious what the rest of you are doing.

Mull with Adblock plus, Ghostery and Decentral eyes. Btw. I hope they soon update their icon to be Material theme compatible.

Honest question: is using those 3 addons better than sticking to just uBlock Origin?

I have read multiple times that the best is to just uBlock Origin and nothing else, since other addons are redundant and together will make your fingerprint easier to recognize.

Honest answer, I don't know. I will for sure not install another extension. What I like from Ghostery is the "auto decline cookie banner" funktion.

uBlock Origin also has this functionality in its "annoyances" list category

I just tried it and it did not work for a website I often visit.
