Firefox on Android mobile is also useful because it allows extensions - especially uBlock Origin (UBO), Ghostery, No script, etc. Some mobile browsers (e.g., Samsung Internet) used to allow extensions also, but they've become crap or dropped such support, so their usage has fallen.
I like Firefox (for safety) and Vivaldi (Chromium browser, it's easier to use) on Android mobile. On iOS, Safari is simple and sufficient, but I would prefer UBO there, however we all know Apple will never allow extensions for Safari.
Ever since Google moved to Manifest v3, Chrome is a no go.

- legacynl 10mo agoublock origin lite is the knee-capped version that is also available in chrome. I haven't tried it, but it is technically not able to block all ads.
- selectodude 10mo agoI’ve found Wipr 2.0 has been able to block all ads (even YouTube) but it’s unable to hide itself so there are sites that block my ability to read them.
- jrflowers 10mo agoYep. It’s not great but it’s not terrible. Hopefully Apple expands Safari extension support in the future
- strictnein 10mo agoWorks much better than I thought it would. It's rather rare when I see an add in Chrome.
