Oh god yes. It filters out ~50% of my youtube. I'm at the point where I can't view websites on my phone anymore because I can't stand all the ads, three popup videos all autoplaying and talking over each other ... ublock origin provides such a stark contrast.
- me_bx 3y agoWhy not use Firefox mobile, on which ublock origin can be installed?
- 93po 3y agoOnly on Android, not iOS. I have an iphone now after android my whole life. The biggest feature it's missing is the ability to block ads. It means I refuse to use the browser on my phone, which is a pretty big feature to lack.
- ryantgtg 3y agoYou can definitely blocks ads on your iPhone browser. Use a content blocker like wipr or firefox focus.
- lethologica 3y agoMaybe try AdGuard. It does a fantastic job of blocking ads for me on iOS.
- lostmsu 3y agoI use it on Android with Firefox.
- rjmalagon 3y agoMaybe you already know it: you can filter ads by DNS on phones (manually configured or with pseudo VPN apps), and if you don't mind using other mobile browsers, on Android Firefox supports ad blockers and Brave (Android and IOS) has an integrated one.
- The5thElephant 3y agoPhones have adblockers too. I know they are harder to use on Android than iOS, but both have them.
- nullindividual 3y agoWithout VPN, iOS doesn't have an ad blocker for in-app ads, like YouTube. And blockers for browsers is extremely poor, routinely failing to block ads. Then there are sites which detect ad blockers and flag them, prevent the site from being used without disabling the ad blocker on Safari/WebView.
- 93po 3y agoWith the right filter lists, you can also get around those adblocker blockers.
- nullindividual 3y agoUnfortunately not on alternative browser shells like Edge.
