Browsing the internet on mobile devices has gotten so bad in the last few years. It's all but guaranteed that at least quarter of the space on any website is going to be taken up by floating ads that don't move as you scroll. Some of them it's over half. I cannot understand how normal folks navigate the web without adblockers.
Yo, after I switched to Firefox, I realized its mobile app offers ad blocking add-ons for mobile. Holy shit was that a dealmaker for me. I actually want to browse the web on my phone again.
uBlock Origin is very powerful thing. It can remove link tracking (I posted links before if you're interested); it can remove parts of site; it can change JavaScript and its response. Basically, everything is possible.
Do I still need the "I still don't care about cookies" extension if I add the filter list?
