Use Firefox.

Even the Android version lets you install uBlock Origin.

That’s Apples fault. They force every mobile browser to be a reskinned version of Safari.

I don’t see the problem with it. I guess people just don’t like change, but you can customize Firefox’s UI unlike Chromes.

Yeah, that’s why I switched to Ecosia, a reskin of chrome that plants trees. Then Google go and does this and now I’m back to Firefox…

There’s no perfect browser, there’s no perfect browser dev team. Just lesser of the evils.
