Why use lite on Firefox/android, considering the normal one is available too?

    So you are using Firefox on Android which is frankly janky but not on computer where it actually shines ?

      Still primarily Chrome but use Firefox for other accounts

Which model is that? I have a single "Moto" app on mine that is un-removable and that is all bloat I can find.

  Moto G Power 5G 2024 It is a cheap phone I think I got it new at $160 and that's the thing it has 8GB of RAM, the pictures are subpar (blurring) but other than that it works for me, multi-app non-game This is on Verizon but yeah it'll just install new games and say "Enjoy these new apps" I'm like wtf I think most recently one of the games it installed is Mahjong edit: apparently it's MotoApps doing it

    If MotoApps are doing this, it is impressive they can also do that on Samsung phones: https://community.verizon.com/t5/Mobile-Network-Archive/Games-Automatically-downloading-with-Verizon-App-Manager/m-p/1809813/highlight/true#M170733 https://community.verizon.com/t5/Mobile-Network-Archive/Game...

How? Mozilla famously refused to add uBlock Origin lite to extension store

  I was mis-remembering, elbatorated in another comment, I'm using regular UBO on android firefox

I believe the parent means proper full-fat uBlock Origin. Not the neutered lite WebExtension Manifest v3 versions. Using real Firefox with uBlock Origin on Windows, macOS, and Android with sync is simple to set up and works great.
