        Use a dns blocker (like nextdns) for systemwide ad blocking meaning it blocks mobile ads too. I haven’t had an ad in ages.

        Edit: Or use something like adaway if you’re on android.

          I tried to use adaway but I can’t do root and I already use a VPN. 😭 Thankfully I use NewPipe x Sponsorblock and ublock origin in Firefox so I’m usually covered.

          Sometimes things open in-app and use Google to load the page, so even if I select “open in firefox” after, there’s still an ad. Plus ads in apps in general.

        Don’t use whatever serves you ads, simple as that.

          Downvoters don’t know Brave is the best thing for iOS users.

          Ya see, Android fellows, Apple forces everyone onto webkit in iOS, and iOS Firefox can’t use extensions.

          Brave has its blocker built in.

            You can get the FFUpdater app from F-Droid, then use that to install Brave to your phone. But at that point, you may as well just use FFUpdater to install the much better alternative, Firefox, which doesn’t indirectly support Chromium engine dominance and doesn’t have that weird crypto crap Brave has.

            Edit: Someone else replied to you suggesting Mull, which is also downloadable through the FFUpdater app.

                ublock origin on firefox mobile has been a thing for years. same for decentraleyes and darkreader. the recent change affects other extensions.

                  What I thought was that Mobile had it’s own built-in adblocking. I specifically remember being able to add the extension in a way I wasn’t able to a few months ago recently.

                    yes: Firefox Mobile supported extensions for years, but only mobile-specific extensions, which was limited to Darkreader, uBlock, Decentraleyes and a couple more.

                    the new change is that Firefox Mobile will support all desktop extensions, though I’m not sure if it’s implemented just yet
