Single-handedly, Firefox (independently from how crappy it can be at times) is what is keeping me on Android. Its full extension support (i.e.: uBlock Origin support) is something that I can't really do without. I do wonder if the crowd here knows of other good alternatives though - specifically, Android and/or iOS browsers with "full" uBlock Origin support (no uBlock origin lite, no other blocker, ...). I would love…

Samsung Browser do support few ad blocking extensions like ADB+ and AdGuard

Not uBlock Origin but Brave's own blocker is written in Rust and it is much more battery efficient than Firefox+uBO. It is equally powerful too (you can also add custom lists). Firefox is both slow and eats a lot of battery.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Orion (by Kagi) with full ublock origin on iOS, atleast that was the case about 6 months ago that I am aware of on Apple’s ecosystem. I’ve long jumped to pihole/adguard home to block ads at the router level so I went back to stock safari after that and use Tailscale to retain the router blocking capabilities when I’m on cell service.

Yes, this is still true. I use orion but I do find it to be a bit buggy.

Same. This was my reason for going back to safari (now w ublock lite) but with a dns adblocker like pihole/adguard home.

I have long been using my own recursive DNS server through Wireguard on my GrapheneOS device. I don't see how using DoH through one of the few well known centralized providers is better for privacy.

Any domain could instrument their DNS to associate your DNS servers with your sessions which is highly unique for you and possibly connects your otherwise distributed devices, it would be odd to me if none of them try to add this to a profile for you just with the expectation of clustering users by more typical configurations.

Why not do dns adblocking so the device or browser does not matter

Because it's much less effective.

Firefox for Android is some of the worst software I've ever used. A lot of extensions won't work in it, and even Edge Canary is far better with them. It is extremely slow, and the UI is horrible. I'm running it on a device with a Qualcomm SM8635 Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, and it just crawls. The UI is very unresponsive, and page load times are terrible. It also has to reload the page if it was running in the backgr…

I have a OnePlus 5T from 2017 with a Snapdragon 835 processor and find that Firefox works perfectly well on it. I also have a device with a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 processor and Windows 11 on ARM. Firefox runs smoothly on that too.
