Literally just use Firefox for Android with uBlock. People act like this is difficult.
It's not a difficulty issue It's that lots of us have tried Firefox and don't like it.
Personally I don't use Firefox because it is buggy, is missing critical features, implements some web standards weirdly and has weird user agent styles. The end result is that many websites don't look right and don't work correctly and/or fully
I do this as much as possible. However the Firefox in-page translation software seems to do something that actually changes the page (and this can break things like forms) whereas chromium browsers do some kind of translation layer on top, so the page can run normally beneath it.
It's an infuriating reason but right now it means I have to split my browser use depending on if I need translations or not.
I've seen the following types of people:
and then disable your YouTube app and save a link to webpage to your home screen. I haven't seen a YouTube ad in years with this method.
Or just use ReVanced. Use microG for non rooted phones.
Freetube
*uBlock Origin
Not available for IOS. For android firefox is bad at sandboxing and security. Vanadium if it had adblocking would be perfect for me.
Objectively more insecure and underperformant than ANY other chromium based browser.
Bullshit (except maybe on Linux, I have no idea if they've fixed their shit there)
Got a source for that incredible claim?
If you're going to make wild claims that most people would disagree with, you better be able to back it up with objective facts

I just searched for
chrome vs firefoxand just about every article from the past year or so say firefox is more secure. Not that it matters a lot either way. Two party system is crap.How so? at least on Android and Linux there is a lack of sandboxing and site isolation. This could be fixed up to a certain point but anyways it would be more insecure than chromium.
Firefox uses literally the Chromium sandbox on Linux, they have for years.
Do you have a more recent article describing that? 2022 is old but I've not seen anything backing up your claim either
To the dumbass downvoters: why does lemmy hate the concept of backing up claims so much? There are two conflicting claims, one that says Linux sandbox is bad, another saying its fine. I'll believe the first person who can actually back their shit up. Nobody should believe either claim until then. This isn't complicated.
Because you're an adult who's expected to know how to use a search engine. I used DDG and it took me about 40 seconds to find the source for the claim you're asking a source for.
that's why ironfox is so valuable
The problem with iron fox is that it's so hardened about privacy that it breaks functionality l, for example you can't even use add-ons if you don't enable it first, it is disabled by default...
