Inferior to what? I have yet to find a browser that blocks ads on Android as efficiently as Firefox+uBlock.

Inferior to what? I have yet to find a browser that blocks ads on Android as efficiently as Firefox+uBlock.
- fireattack 6y agoChrome. It's just my personal opinion as a user, based on my own use case. Can't really detail, but mainly various UX issues. It feels unpolished. As for ad block, I use DNS based blocker apps like adgarud on my phone.
- rolandog 6y agoI agree! In my case, I additionally use NoScript as well with both the mobile and desktop browsers. It's such a great experience.
- AlchemistCamp 6y agoDDG browser is pretty good on Android.

- JeremyNT 6y agoIt's inferior to... Firefox! The old version of Firefox for Android (Fennec) had several important features that never made it into the rewrite. I understand they wanted to address architectural issues and improve performance, but the net result was that one day you opened up an app you'd been using happily for years only to be presented with a buggy, more limited alternative that was barely recognizable. Things are a little better now, but you still can't print, install arbitrary extensions, save offline in reader mode, and more.
- xnx 6y agoAgreed. Firefox is the one Android app I have blocked from auto-update. Waiting for the newest version to be better than the previous version.
- jackric 6y agoBrave is excellent at blocking ads by default (and based off Chrome). Its tracking prevention is a double edged sword: lots of sites with reCAPTCHA make me prove I'm human, because Google can't leverage any browsing footprint to guess that I am credibly human. It's inconvenient but a welcome reminder of how profiled normal web users are.
