Firefox on Android supports it without any issue. That would cover a significant enough segment of the population that it might encourage actual change in the industry if people started moving to that platform.
- Xirdus 6mo agoFirefox on Android has approximately 0.5% market share on mobile, less than Opera. I really doubt it's enough to spark any sort of industry-wide change.
- Rychard 6mo agoI'm not saying that Firefox on Android has significant market share; rather that Android has significant market share, and those users could be served by switching to Firefox solely for the purpose of using an adblocker. If all Android users did this, something would change.
- account42 6mo ago> something would change Google would make it harder to install Firefox? Like they are already doing with anything not on their approved list?
- Forgeties79 6mo agoThe point is it’s easy. It’s near frictionless. Unlike a lot of pie in the sky statements I see here like how “easy” it is to install and run Linux (it isn’t), Firefox adoption is truly trivial for any smartphone user and presents a stronger baseline than chrome does. People here often get critical of Firefox/Mozilla, and I totally get it, but compared to Google Chrome it doesn’t, well, compare. Firefox runs great 99.99% of the time. It’s easy to add extensions. So we should be pushing people to adopt it.
