The first browser extension I ever installed was the original Adblock for Firebird (maybe even Phoenix, I don't recall exact timing), and to this day an ad blocker is the first extension I install on a new browser profile. These days my preference is uBlock Origin but it's still the most important part of an acceptable browsing experience.
Every time I browse the web on my phone it's just a nightmare of nonsense.
Tampermonkey is an on and off thing for me, sometimes I have it installed and use it every day, other times I go years between needing it.
- prashantsengar 4y agoI am guessing you are using an iPhone. But if I am wrong and for others who do not know, Firefox for Android supports running uBlock Origin.
- wolrah 4y agoI am actually using an Android, but while I have Firefox installed I generally don't use it unless I have to. It just never feels like it works as well as Chrome, plus there's the entire sync ecosystem with desktop Chrome that also connects to the system webview wherever apps feel the need to embed a browser. I'm not against changing if I have to, and if the perpetually-delayed Manifest v3 changes ever actually get forced I will probably have to, but for now it doesn't bug me enough to be worth the trouble. I just don't care that much about browsing on a phone when I spend 95% of my day with a desktop or laptop within reach.
