Who'da thunk a browser made around crypto shit would do such a thing. I only use this browser on my phone because of the ad blocking to open links people send me, I should just get something else. Does mobile Firefox get proper ad blocking?

Yes Firefox supports adblocking and you should switch to this.

Yes you can add extensions to Firefox mobile, I recommend Ublock Origin

Switched to Firefox a year ago for exactly this reason. Chrome and Edge for work related stuff and Firefox for any personal things.

Check out https://nextdns.io/ it’s a privacy focused dns resolver but it also lets you include blocklists at the dns level which are the same lists used by stuff like ublock origin. That’ll block adds and trackers at the dns level before they even hit your device. I’ve had it on my android and iOS devices for years. It will even block most stuff in apps as well.

if you’re using android, mull is supposed to be the good privacy fork of firefox

i think it has ad-blocking but i do ad blocking through my router anyway, so idk for sure
