I can't imagine browsing the web on my phone and tablet without Firefox mobile. That would honestly be the biggest loss once this CEO takes this nonsense to the logical end.

I'm genuinely curious. What does FireFox mobile have over it's competition?

You can't install UBlock Origin on mobile.

Like I still use FireFox on mobile, just purely out of habit. I don't really see anything better about it (I am quite inexperienced when it comes to phones).

You can install uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile; it's the only reason I use it.

Oh wow TIL. Thanks, that is amazing.

I just looked it up. 2023 was when it started. I'm surprised Android even allows something like this.

Yeah at some point it wasn't possible. I think Mozilla did some workaround by having a bunch of wetted extensions?

Pretty sure even back then, uBO was on the list of vetted extensions. I remember using it prior to 2023 (since like 2019), on my old OnePlus 6. There may have been a period it wasn’t available, but surely it wasn’t gone for too long.

I use several extensions on Fennec mobile: AdGuard AdBlocker, Google & YouTube cookie consent popup blocking, NoScript, Privacy Badger, Translate this page, Web Archives, uBlacklist
