- mfrisbie 4y agoI'm a faithful Firefox Mobile user myself, it's the easiest way to use an adblocker on a mobile device. I don't think it's controversial to suggest that extensions are a desktop-first platform: things like popups, omnibox API, contextmenu API, or customizing developer tools either aren't applicable in a mobile format or don't translate very well.
- abdusco 4y agoAlso Kiwi Browser. It's a Chromium fork with extension + adblock support, it even has a developer console.
- Hitton 4y agoBut the UI is rather klunky. Example is using uBlock Origin to block random element on page. You must: 1) click kebab menu icon 2) scroll all the way down 3) click ublock icon 4) on another screen click "enter element picker mode" 5) that takes you to the rightmost opened tab (!), so most likely completely different tab than you were using, so you must switch back to your original tab 6) you can finally pick elements Still, considering that only alternative is Firefox which makes you go to different screen just to switch tab and jump through hoops to be even able to download most extensions, it's still the best Android browser.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoOut of a small list of Mozilla-blessed add-ons, though. I mean, it's worth it for the ability to run uBO, which is on the list, but if you want to run just about anything else... I heard it's possible if you go through some convoluted process involving Firefox nightly/beta.
