I only have two extensions...
... and yet, that alone makes me loathe any other mobile browser that doesn't support them.
I was using a friend's phone for checking something online the other day, and I was horrified at how much screen real estate was wasted on ads. I've become far too used to having adblock on mobile, and I had forgotten how bad it can be.
I always find it jarring, because I'm so surprised that people put up with it and just accept it as normal. I get that I am an extreme outlier when it comes to my willingness to tinker and also my stubbornness that makes me extremely willing to spend a heckton of time to solve problems that are annoying me, but for many people, switching to a different browser and using uBlock would be trivially easy, but they just don't, even if they know that's an option. I don't understand the mindset that leads to it.
The "A" is for "apathy".
JShelter and uBlock Origin here 🫡
ToXCancel is nice too sometimes
Similar for Instagram and tik tok https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/social-switch/
As I'm not into microblogging I kinda don't need it, but yeah, I get why it might be useful.
"Video Background Play Fix" is also nice if you are a YouTube user. Background playing of Videos without the need for Premium.
Add bypass paywall clean and Augmented Steam and you have mine
You couldn't link me to the exact bypass extension you use could you please?
Consent-O-Matic is nice too, clicks through cookie popups automatically
Combine with uninstalling all YouTube apps
pipepipe app is much better YouTube client and it comes with ad blocking and sponsorBlock.
Have you tried ReVanced? I love having SponsorBlock, DeArrow thumbnails, and the ability to remove YT Shorts entirely from the app. The YouTube patches are amazing!
