Strong suggestion: uBlock Origin ad blocker, including in Firefox on Android.
Other options include the Brave or Duck Duck Go browsers - similar features built in, but possibly less bookmark portability, etc
- kingcharles 5y agoThanks. I have ethical issues with ad blockers. As someone who has built businesses based on ads it pains me to hurt these sites, even though the ad situation is really fucked up in 2021. I just found out about Brave this week. It looks promising. I didn't know DuckDuckGo had a browser. I've been using the search occasionally. People say they can't switch from Google, but honestly their search quality is over-rated. They are really sanitizing their results more than the others recently. Even Bing is bringing back more results from really useful obscure sites than Google is.
- fencepost 5y agoAdblock Plus might be an acceptable solution for you, IIRC it has an "acceptable ads" program designed to only filter out the heavier or more intrusive ads.
- kingcharles 5y agoThank you for the tip. Just installed it. Open source, and powered by donations. Awesome.
