"blocking ads and trackers" on the phone means that there's basically only one choice which is firefox, no? not saying firefox is not good but it's at least not

  I'm using Opera on Android, it has ad-blocker built-in. I think Vivaldi has it too.

    I know those browsers exist, but how much percentage of mobile web browser traffic are coming from browsers with the ability to block ads?

      So because Google's browser is hostile to making the Web useful except for the stuff under Google's control, we should cede control to Google?

  > "blocking ads and trackers" on the phone means that there's basically only one choice which is firefox, no? not saying firefox is not good but it's at least not for everyone. I'm blocking a good percentage of ads in Safari on my iPhone via third-party apps Hush[0] and Magic Lasso[1]. I typically read articles in Reader mode. Because of this, I can't give a great accounting of how many ads actually get through. Certainly, the number is small enough that I don't think about it.
