Not mentioned: on Android, Firefox can use extensions including ublock origin.
And on that topic, "Dark Background and Light Text" currently at 0.6.8 is also mighty handy, though there are some items that end up invisible like voting arrows on HN.
- gregschlom 8y agoThe reason why I switched from Chrome to Firefox on Android
- vanadium 8y agoYep, also why I switched from Chrome to Firefox on Android. And my home network/VPN is sitting behind a Pi-hole instance for good measure.
- thomasahle 8y agoIf I switch to Firefox mobile, is there a way to transfer all my stored passwords from Chrome?
- xxs 8y agoFirefox for desktop can import settings from Chrome and desktop can sync. passwords to mobile
- codetrotter 8y agoAlternatively there’s Brave, an open source browser that comes with built in blocking of ads & tracking. Brave is available for iOS also as well as Android and Linux and Windows. Brendan Eich, the guy that made JavaScript is on the Brave dev team. Brave is a bit buggy on iOS but it works well enough that I am now using it. Brave does not sync passwords and bookmarks on iOS (don’t know about the other platforms) which is a bit unfortunate but all over not too bad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)
- greenyoda 8y agoHN's voting arrows are visible with "Dark Background and Light Text" if you use the "Simple CSS" option (which can be set on a per-site basis). (Some other sites can be made to work better with the "Invert" option.)
