Went to kiwi browser on my android phone and tablets, never looked back.
I looked up kiwi browser on Play Store...they do not want you to do that. Kiwi is buried down the list below Edge, and they try to sell you Firefox.
Chrome for Android doesn't have extensions, but Edge now has a whole store

~75% of Mozilla revenue comes from Google. Edge would be a much safer bet if you don't want a browser funded primarily with ad dollars.
Have you used Edge? It had clippable discount coupons built-in the last time I did. No thanks.
I am using Edge. I don't see any discount coupons. I must have clicked a "no ads pls" buttons somewhere, but now it's good.
Speaking of adware and spyware, doesn't Firefox still have Google as its default search website? They are not Google, but literally selling you to Google, that's like even worse?

That's insane. Edge is one big ad. Have you even ever opened it? Their home page is a tabloid.
It is configurable, my Edge home page is just a search bar + the weather.

#35Firefox for Android also supports extensions, including uBlock Origin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin...
I recently found out that on Firefox Android you can install an extension from file by activating developer options. This allows you to install Bypass Paywalls Clean even though Mozilla sadly pulled it from the extension store.

Ever opened a default install of Edge? Shows MSN news, ads, ads posing as news articles, built-in shopping discount coupons etc. Yes you can turn all this off, but in default mode it is maddening.
Holy hell. I just opened one because I got a bug report about a page I maintain, and it was absolutely staggering.
Had I not needed to specifically test Edge on Windows 11, I'd have just pressed and held the power button, then wiped the disk and installed something else if I'd encountered that experience on something I purchased to use for some non-browser-testing productive purpose.
The funny thing is Chrome is actually made by an advertising company, and it's significantly less aggravating, somehow.

Don't insult tabloids like that. The information content of your average tabloid is much higher.

#39I briefly installed it, and see a list of 22 extensions, not much of a "store" right now.

Seems less sketchy to use uBlock Origin with bypass-paywalls-clean-filters... at least then you're not directly adding executable code, though I'm not sure if uBO filter lists can be exploited.
