Woah that’s awesome. So ublock origin on android Firefox? Freaking nice!

uBlock on Firefox mobile has been out for a while now

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From the beginning. Even when Firefox had to restrict the mobile add-ons a few years ago, uBlock was one of the few that remained.

uBlock, Dark Reader, Privacy Badger, ClearURLs, DecentralEyes. They have all been there the whole time

Or violentmonkey for a FOSS tampermonkey compatible alternative.

you can use ublock origin on android firefox right now.. been using it for years.

I use it since maybe a year now on Android and it's amazing. The toggeling of the overlay and weird zap objects/overlays function takes some getting used too but otherwise its just like on the Desktop.

Yeah, the way Firefox manages addon interfaces on mobile makes it really unintuitive to use ublock's tools, but you can absolutely use them with some practice and patience. Personal filters makes so many websites usable.

Hopefully whatever this update is will make using the element zapper/filter easier.
