Firefox is a thick wrapper around the core functionality of uBlock on Android. Without uBlock, the case for using Firefox is very weak.



uBlock on Firefox pretty much is the only reason I haven't ditched Android yet


I'd go as far as to say it's my lifeline for a smartphone. Outside of sleep-or-shitposting like this, I don't use the thing.

I live as if it were a couple decades ago, working on a desktop computer. I've bought several laptops and failed to modernize. My entire life depends on the Internet and all of that, I'd prefer more distance to be honest.


Same, though I've switched to uBlock in Kiwi Browser.


I switched to ublock in orion on iOS.

The remaining problem is that iOS has subpar podcast and Bluetooth support.


This isn't about uBlock though. Just uBlock Origin Lite.


you mean, this isn't about uBlock Origin though. Just uBlock Origin Lite.

plain old uBlock is another add-on which may no longer exist. (uBlock was the original original, but the same developer, gorhill, mistakenly let it slip into the wrong hands and it became a pay-to-play leaky ad blocker)


I knew that, but the person I replied to just said uBlock. Still, good to point it out.
