Miraste on Feb 11, parent context favorite on: Firefox You're not alone, Firefox mobile is practically unusable. For a while now, Mozilla has been putting all their development effort into Fenix Firefox Preview on the Play Store , which has all the speed and responsiveness main Firefox doesn't, plus a better UI and general slickness. It even has limited extension support in the alpha, which should make it to the release version very soon. I've been using it as my main mobile browser for a few months now and it's great. There are still occasional bugs, but it's finally a legitimate Chrome alternative. I vehemently disagree. With support for add-ons including uBlock Origin, it's one of the very few usable browsers on mobile. Miraste on Feb 11, parent next [—]. I was using Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin, and I found that Chrome with no adblocking was a better experience. Page loads, scrolling, zooming, and the other interactions were so slow they counteracted the advantage. That said, new Firefox mobile is way faster and the nightly build already has uBlock support.

There's no uBlock Origin in the Add-on manager.

Mozilla broke extensions on desktop Firefox before and lost many users. Can't help but wonder what the hell are their product managers thinking? How can I recommend Firefox if they keep breaking it with little regard for users? Is there another browser that supports uBlock Origin for Android? I'm not talking about biased half baked built-in ad blockers, I want the full open source extension.

A few weeks ago, Firefox Preview moved into the Firefox for Android Nightly pre-release channel , starting a new chapter of the Firefox experience on Android. In the next few weeks, uBlock Origin will be the first add-on to become available in the new Firefox for Android. As one of the most popular extensions in our Recommended Extensions program, uBlock Origin helps millions of users gain control of their web experience by blocking intrusive ads and improving page load times. We want to ensure that any add-on supported in the new Firefox for Android provides an exceptional, secure mobile experience to our users. To this end, we are prioritizing Recommended Extensions that are optimized for different screen sizes and cover common mobile use cases. When an add-on you previously installed becomes supported, we will notify you. When we have more information about how we plan to support add-ons in Firefox for Android beyond our near-term goals, we will post them on this blog. We hope you stay tuned!

It's the only browser I use on mobile for years, can't say I have faced any issue, not major issue, didn't face any issue, apart from very rare stuff that were fixed, can't even remember which.
