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

You can also install uBlock Origin on Edge for Android btw.
