Firefox, something Firefox based or something entirely other?

Firefox, with ublock origin and yt high definition plugins, so I can have a decent yt player. I have disabled/hide chrome, I have no need for it.

Firefox because of the addons, also because it syncs (weirdly, but still) with Firefox on my pc

Firefox because nothing has blocked ads as well as Ublock Origin has. DNS is for other apps but for browser Firefox has been king.

Ublock origin – best ad blocker

Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.

There is no excuse for ads on Firefox or its forks. Installing uBlock Origin blocks any and all ads just like on desktop.

Hasn’t been the case for a good while now. Feel free to switch back if you ever want to.
