Never seen that banner or an ad. I guess it's just a matter of time though πŸ˜•

uBlock Origin is reliably blocking the blocker blocker for me at this time, though a few popups got through a couple weeks ago.

Same, uBlock in Firefox is doing it 100% for me. Haven't even seen a youtube ad or a complaint that I should stop blocking ads.

Well if you are using Firefox, you obviously life the easy life. But what about the Edge or Chrome users here? Habe some respect for those poor guys.

They suffer voluntarily simply by choosing not to switch their browsers to non-chromium.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that suffering is self inflicted if we’re talking about home users. In an enterprise environment you might need to convince your admin to add Firefox to the company portal.

Same, it's a cat and mouse battle .. lol

Yo dawg, I heard you like blockers

Brave is dropping the ball. It's the only mobile option.

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin on Android. Isn't there the same for iOS?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

iOS web browsers are forced to use the safari/WebKit engine, so you don’t get Firefox extensions, sadly.

The main benefits of using Firefox on iOS is if you prefer it’s interface or want to sync with desktop Firefox (which is why I use it).

Hyperweb might work though.

[–] Number1SummerJam -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Brave for iOS (sorry firefox gang I appreciate you guys) is working fine for me. I had some issues with both Firefox/uB and Brave on windows getting the pop-ups.

[–] dual_sport_dork 4 points 1 year ago

I got the pop up a couple of times until I manually updated uBlock's filters list. After that, no issues.
