Firefox + uBlock Origin on both desktop and phone = no ads for many years. Default settings on both, no extra work.
How does one get extensions on mobile? I went into Firefox and couldn’t see any extension section in the settings.
TrickDacyCouldn’t find it, I’m on iOS.
iOS is different because all browsers are basically Safari but with a different skin. You can install Firefox but the version with the more privacy built in called Firefox Focus. It installs an extension called Firefox Focus. It will block ads in Safari and Firefox.
Naho_ZakoYou can install Firefox but the version with the more privacy built in called Firefox Focus. It installs an extension called Firefox Focus. It will block ads in Safari and Firefox. You need to enable it under settings > apps > safari > extensions.
Damn, wish I knew this while I was stuck on iOS. I hated Safari and refused to use it so I just lived with ads until I started using NextDNS
Apple doesn’t allow you browser choice. It’s not actually Firefox in that context. It’s webkit with a different skin.
Actually, you CAN have adblock on Apple. Kagi’s browser, Orion, has the option for extensions like Ublock Origin.
Thank you! Struggled with only Brave as an option which I would rather not use.
For anyone else, you do not need a Kagi account, just change the default search provider in the settings.
Even though I use newpipe on my phone, the very few times I’ve tried using the browser I got bombarded with ads even though I use Firefox with ublock origin. I always thought I needed to change my settings.
