I hate using mobile to read articles - Lemmy.world

Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads. Yay internet.

Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don’t have to suffer this rubbish!
uBlock Origin – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download uBlock Origin for Firefox. Finally, an efficient wide-spectrum content blocker. Easy on CPU and memory.

I really wish they brought back Reader mode. I kept the old version of firefox side by side just so I can force some pages into it. Makes reading soooo much easier.

Reader mode is still here and works 100% fine, at least on Android…

I can’t find it in v117.1.0 at least. That’s what I get for keeping software up to date… (⁠ー⁠_⁠ー⁠゛⁠)

Switched not to long ago and the reader mode is a lifesaver as well

Except if you’re an apple tard 😂😂

The EU Digital markets Act will eventually be fixing that, for better or worse.

Mozilla are already working on an iOS port apparently, just need Apple to (begrudgingly) open the doors.

The rest of the OS is still a proprietary shithole

Still better then the dumpster fire of nonupdated and unoptimized androids. I bet my old iphone 8 plus still feels smoother with 2GB ram then the new pixel

I have nothing against nocoiners

I use Firefox and Firefox Klar which integrates into Firefox on iOS. I see no ads.

Safari on iOS supports extensions. Chrome on Android does not. But hey, keep telling yourself that Google are better than Apple at this.
Show threadjackSep 17, 2023
Who cares about Google? Chrome is trash. You don’t understand that in the Android world I can install infinite different browsers. I am not dependent on what one company allows. Must be hard to understand for an Apple brain.

uBlock isn’t going to block pop-ups that are from the website you’re visiting.
Show threadleanleftJan 19, 2024
u probably donteven need an adblocker.
i bet there is a config to disable popups. (might break some legitimate use cases)

Can Memmy be configured to use this browser when opening links?
Show threadleanleftJan 19, 2024
extremely unlikely u would see the trashiest trash if u just had a host blocker (firefox strict, ublock, umatrix, etc…)
