- 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.
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
And to add to that, set all your programs and links to open in Firefox by default, instead of the YouTube app, etc. then you’re blocking ads just like a desktop on every site you visit.
Why stop there? uninstall the youtube app. It’s garbage. FreeTube has an Android fork now too.
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
Yes 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 there is lol
Yes, in mobile Firefox.
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.
