      Firefox on Android has it.

      But if you’re on iOS you’d better speak to Tim Apple about it, assuming he’s finished noshing off Trump.

        You can have it on iOS as well. Use Orion browser instead of safari and install UBO from the firefox addons store ;)

          I just tried this and I get an alert that unlock isn’t fully available. Seems it can’t access web request API.

          I’ll give it a spin out of curiosity. I pay for Kagi anyway. I’m very opposed to Google.

          It doesn’t work properly… Orion still really falls short. I use Brave on iOS just because of Adblock and paywall bypass.

            Oh, well I haven’t had problems so far with Orion+UBO!

              Even YouTube? The last time I tried (a couple months ago) on both mobile and desktop Orion it’s totally unusable, most of the time it just gets stuck on a black screen for 10-60 seconds where the ads should be.

      On Firefox on Android you can use extensions. I’ve been using uBO for years on my phone.

      As much as I hate to say it, if on iOS use Brave. You can disable the crypto shit, but it’s got the best adblocking on iOS, and paywall bypass built in.

              Spite has been a powerful driver in my most recent software choices recently. I know how it is.
