I disabled Brave shields to use this site and then my phone turned into an air fryer from all the bloatware it was loading. Temps went up like 20 DC.

The spite I have for fandom… is… so… intense

Numbers go brrrr

    If you don’t like Firefox mobile is there another ad blocking mobile browser that you’d suggest?

      Personally I use waterfox, it’s what firefox was before the ai trash was shoved into it and what it should still be.

      If you already have strong opinions about browsers, then I’m guessing this is unlikely, but if you have an iPhone, Orion is decent.

      Cromite has a built in adblocker but it also allows you to install extensions.

      I have Ublock Origin and Libredirect installed in Cromite on my phone.

        Nah, Cromite doesn’t allow extensions. Other than the built in ones, it doesn’t do extensions. There was another Chromium android browser that could do extensions, Kiwi I think. But it was a smidge shady how it did its search queries so I’d avoid it.

        And side note: Cromite’s Fdroid repo link is shot. It’s been down for me for month, and I tried disabling VPN or switching to other countries and i either get a timeout or not found error, similsr to this forum post. So like I’d have to keep downloadong apks to keep it up to date, and I’d rather just pray every website i use works on FF than do that.

          Attached is a screenshot of Cromite browser’s “chrome://extensions” page with extensions installed and running. Also shown in screenshot is the Ublock Origin applet pinned to Cromite’s toolbar

            Sheesh, you schooled me. I genuinely didn’t think it had the option for them, especially since I tried to test it with libredirect’s crx file. Is it because you have to enable developer mode in the chrome flags?
