I would like to pirate on my phone sometimes and the ads on websites are problem. I’m not newbie, I know I can install firefox and get the uBlock on it but firefox android is a little bit slow so I prefer to use Opera browser; opera has an ad blocker but it’s a joke compared to uBlock. I’m in a restricted country and my phone is not rooted, so if I use ad block apps like AdAway or Adgaurd they need to create a VPN connection in order to function unless the phone is rooted, and that VPN connection doesn’t let me to enable another VPN in order to visit filtered websites or apps.
I’m not stuck, but felt if I ask here there may be another smart solution for ad blocking on android that can solve these small problems; and the solution would help other people so be kind and provide what you have.
Kiwi Browser is Chromium based and supports desktop add-ons like uBlock Origin.
This… While I don’t like how the source code isn’t updated to the public regularly there isn’t anything fishy in Kiwi, we get regular updates and there are some neat features like being able to change the tab switcher UI or use desktop extensions.
Yes but that shit is a terrible browser!
Works fine for me, so I’m not sure why you think it’s terrible. Only mobile browser with Developer Tools too.
You realize Opera is the exact same engine, right?
I think maybe OP doesn’t like kiwi’s UI/UX
Why is Kiwi a terrible browser?
Firefox for mobile has a few addons support, including ublock origin. I’m not sure how you mean it’s slow
With an old phone Firefox is indeed slow. Startup is slow, page loading is slow, even scrolling is sluggish. On Chromium browser the performance is a lot better if your phone is not that fast.
