It's more than ads. With ublock origin in advanced mode you can easily block images and javascript (except on sites you whitelist). On mobile, that makes a lot of difference; the data usage can easily become half or even less than you'd have with Chrome, and because of that it also loads much faster. It can be the difference between nearly hitting your monthly data cap or ending the month with plenty of data to spare.
- rchaud 11y agoEven without Ublock, Firefox Android supports extensions, so I can toggle an image blocker extension during those lean times when I'm close to hitting my monthly data cap. Unfortunately, I've found that Firefox is a bit slower to render pages than Android Chrome, and scrolling experience sometimes feels janky. That said, it's unlikely that Android Chrome will ever support ad blocking, so Firefox will stay on my device.
