Firefox on android works fine for me and supports all the extensions of their desktop browser.

#14The article has been corrected to reflect the fact that it doesn't include mobile site, only the app.
Perhaps OP could edit their headline as well?

Why would Google be desperate, though? They are hugely cash positive, have enormous cash reserves, and essentially no competition outside of China.
> and essentially no competition outside of China They have less eyeballs, I presume. Their competition is FB + IG + Whatsapp + whatever it is today's young people spend their time on. They could have made YT as socially engaging as Instagram but they failed along the way.

Try Blokada (https://blokada.org/), it blocks ads system-wide.

No, I have not, but I find quotes like the ones bellow (taken from the article) as pure lies told to their investors:
> The company wants to make it easier for users to discover and buy new products because they shop in spurts while watching TV or sitting in the bathroom
No, no-one in the under-40 target is sitting in front of the TV and then is deciding to shop for stuff, almost everyone in the under-40 target is sitting on their phones (mostly on FB + IG + Whatsapp) even when watching TV, even when in the bathroom, and it's in there (on FB + IG + Whatsapp + other social networks) that the buying decision is made. TV is for the older-than-40 audience.

Brave browser for Android has served me well since 2017, but I am seeing some AdWords/Adsense crap filtering in every now and then. Still, it's so rare that I find myself having to mention that it does happen.
