Never needed a browser with a real ad blocker?
- Jwarder 4y agoYou can install uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android.

- carewell 4y agoThat’s not due to censorship though. And yes - both iOS and Android have great adblockers. I use AdGuard Pro on iOS and my experience is as good as using uBlock origin on desktop. Saying that, I agree that alternative rendering engines should be allowed in AppStore. Don’t think we need an alternative app store for that. I have worked in IT for a few years and dealt with many very tech illiterate people. Apple AppStore is a relatively safe space for them, if they get scammed into installing an alternative MyApps store with a ton of trackers and other scam software they will suffer tremendously.
- fabrice_d 4y agoThe web is also a safe space for users, and doesn't rely on a single points of control like app stores.
- carewell 4y agoAnd if you have ever worked in IT or helped your extended family with tech issues you would know the difference between the web and iOS in terms of viruses, scam apps, tracking, ransomware, etc.
- thewebcount 4y agoI use Orion on iOS. It blocks ads by default and you can use uBlockOrigin with it. It's great!
