Ad blocking on android
Ad blocking on android
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.

Wait since when is firefox considered slow ? For me the speed is decent i dont have a 1000$ phone so i dont expect it to be as fast as on my pc
Im basically exclusively using Firefox on my phone and loading websites is pretty fast, the app just feels less responsive when scrolling compared to chrome/bromite
It's fast enough to be enjoyable but opera has a nicer UI and since you can't use extensions, the speed is consistent.
opera is chinese spyware tho, just for a nice ui thats not worth
My plan is returning to firefox but I have too much stuff in the opera's Flow. I must spend some time in future to fix this and abandon opera.
Though I feel Firefox (and its fork Fennec FDroid) is a lot slower than other browsers based on Chromium like Bromite and Kiwi. I'm using a phone that's pretty low-end in 2023 standard though. (MSM8974 with 2GB ram running Android 11)
