I think firefox should ship with ublock origin installed. (Perhaps also containers).
Hopefully then more people will migrate faster
At least tracking protection should be set to strict, iirc on default setting it barely blocks any ads.
Strict tracking protection makes Firefox on Android a ton faster, especially on any website owned by Google or any link that has a Google wrapper (e.g. clicking a link on the Gmail app)
Strict protection on iOS was literally the difference between "I can use this phone" and "brick". I had an old iPhone, 6 Plus, and Safari lagged to death because it tried to load ads. Firefox didn't.
Try Orion for iOS, it has better ad blocking
Thanks for recommendation, YT adblock is interesting.
Does that make a difference if you already have the PrivacyBadger extension?
According to this GitHub discussion PrivacyBadger is pretty much redundant if you use uBlock Origin, can even hinder performance and cause opposite effect than expected.
To add to this, I have uBO installed on FF Android, but Strict Protection still makes things much faster for me. I'm not sure if it's because of my other Addons, but FF Android is so slow otherwise with certain sites (mostly just Google's)
agreed, that's why I have hard time switching to it but I still try
That would be awesome!
