Greetings from Poland :)
Even while inconvenient for me, I've switched on my android from chrome (which I also use on desktopt) to firefox because of one reason: you can install plugins (read ublock, adblock etc) on firefox for android. Since that day, mobile browsing is a BLISS !!!
You can see here (and elsewhere) why: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/01/business/cost-of-mobile-ads.html http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/01/business/cost-...
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThe mobile ad scene is ridiculous. I'm about to switch from Chrome to Firefox just because of that stupid "ad network" that has some scripts which "escape their iframe" and keep redirecting half of the sites I view to what is presumably a malware download service.
- Fiahil 10y agoI'm also considering doing the same. Every single time I open a webpage on my phone it takes forever to load (even on a fast and reliable wi-fi) and I often cannot read anything until I have closed the cookie consent panel, the "install our app" modal, the full page autoplaying video ad, and the "subscribe to our newsletter" pop-up. It's like yelling insults to someone else while in an elevator.

- phatfish 10y agoA good choice, it has become more stable over the last few months. A while ago i had so many crashes it was unusable. I get less crashes now and the speed up from running uBlock Origin on my old S3 is very noticeable.
- ionised 10y agoI recommend 1) Self-Destructing Cookies and 2) HTTPS Everywhere on Firefox mobile too.
