So so so so many ads in that page that I genuinely lost the article in the middle, that’s a first.

I didn’t see a single ad, I’m using this:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/ublock-origin/

Will that work on my pixelgooglephone?

Not to beat the point to death, but I’m using FF and UBO on a stock Pixel 7a. I’m browsing Lemmy using Sync, which means i need to purposefully open the link in Firefox, or it uses the Sync built in browser

But if your default browser is Firefox then sync uses a webview based on that. With uBO.

I checked my settings in Sync. The default browser is set to internal at the moment

Default browser in Android, not Sync.

Pictures are better than words

My current settings

Internal browser on OP’s link

Device browser (Firefox) on OP’s link

Whatever internal browser Sync is using, it isn’t Firefox. My default browser on my device is Firefox.

I thought about in the Android settings:

Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Browser app

But, Sync could directly call the Chrome package name (hard coded), which would be a d*ck move and shit design.

Normally, Android uses as “Custom tab” the default browser in the Android Settings.

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ dunno how it’s coded but i figured the pictures could help clarify. It’s probably part of the reason you see some on here complain about ads on linked websites. I will say that it makes me appreciate FF and UBO even more. The current state of the Web is pretty shite
