- Google is transitioning Chrome’s extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
- This means users won’t be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
- However, there’s a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.
Why wait? Migrate now. There’s even Firefox for mobile with ublock
There is?
Yes my main mobile browser
Same here. Haven’t seen an ad in I don’t know how long.
That doesn’t really answer my question. How does one get ublock origin on mobile?
Same as on desktop. You go to the Mozilla extension site or the author’s site and click add.
You use Firefox as your mobile browser
There’s an extensions menu in the firefox app, uBlock is listed as one of the recommend ones, all you have to do is click the plus sign to add it.
Not in mobile
Everyone is leaving out that this is Android only.
That’s what you get for using an apple product.
It’s definitely one of the reasons I left.
On the other hand, Google fucking SUCKS and I expect Apple to be doing way less questionable-to-evil stuff with my data.
That’s because “firefox” (or “chrome” too) on apple products is just a reskin of Safari. Apple does not allow 3rd party browser engines in its app store.
That’s because 3rd party browser engines might not suck ass, which would allow OWA apps in your browser whcih would circumvent Apple’s 30% cut on everything. So they kneecap their own browser and don’t allow any other browser on their devices.
Yes in mobile
Yes, in mobile Firefox.
Yes there is lol
This is Fennec, a fork of Firefox for mobile, though mobile Firefox has this same menu. c: Extensions are very much supported on mobile and it’s great.
Though I should add: I’m not an iOS user, so the story is likely to be different there, Apple being Apple and whatnot.
On Android, Firefox for iOS doesn’t have addons because Apple.
Only on Firefox Android.
As far as I know, Safari is the only browser with Adblock on iOS.
This is true, however, Firefox focus has a built in blocker that’s pretty good, and the Orion browser for iOS actually supports Firefox extensions (even though it’s built on top of safari), and is also pretty good. I run bothe Firefox focus and Orion with ublock on my iOS devices.
I just installed Orion thanks to this post and I’m really impressed. I usually stick to safari, but I’m going to sit on this for a week and see how I feel about it.
2 quick questions; Do you know if it’s possible to get YouTube videos to run in PiP on iOS/iPadOS? And is there a dark mode for the app’s interface?
Yes, you can do pip, you need to first expand the video to full screen, then tap the screen to bring up the on screen controls, and you should see a pip button in the upper left of the video.
Orion doesn’t have a dark mode that I’m aware of, though it mostly respects iOS dark mode (with annoying exceptions). Though with firefox extensions, you can install dark reader, or you can install the dark reader iOS app, to get dark mode on all websites.
Edit: I’m not certain that dark reader iOS app will work with orion. I don’t use the app, I use the firefox extension with orion.
