Are extensions really useful for mobile browsers? Most things I use extensions for have their own apps (chromecast, hangouts, email)

- coldpie 12y agoGood lord, yes. Have you ever browsed the web on mobile without AdBlock? It's nearly useless. Setting aside the bandwidth you're wasting, nearly every page redirects you to the app store or pops up a dozen shitty ads before you can see the content. I'm still baffled that ad networks allow advertisers to inject arbitrary javascript into their banner ads. Why on earth are they allowed to deliver anything other than an image? Anyways, I'll never browse the web without AdBlock again and I'm astounded that so many people are able to do so.
