    Chrome: We’re going to make adblocking on mobile even harder.

    Firefox: We’re gonna make adblocking on mobile as easy as its ever been.

    Gee, wonder which one I’m gonna be using after this.

    Alright so what’s the biggest threat that the Open Web is facing right now? Web Enviroment Integrity.

    What’s the biggest browser engine that’s not Chromium? Gecko. (Firefox)

    Which group of people use Chrome most? Average Joes.

    What attracts Average Joes? Shiny new features.

    What is this post about? Shiny new features.

    I think this is a perfect opportunity to make people switch to Firefox.

    Though an antitrust lawsuit would probably be quicker.

    I keep forgetting it’s not a normal thing. I’ve been on Firefox Nightly plus uBlock for a long time and it works great.

      Unless things have changed, Apple’s policy of generally not allowing programs to download executable code would block this. Browsers are locked into using Apple’s allowed web engines because of this, so basically every browser on iOS is safari or re-themed safari

        There are some browsers that have extensions on iOS, notably Orion (which unfortunately is iOS and MacOS only, no Windows)

      Orion Browser should do fine with WebExtension support (from both Chrome and Firefox add-on stores) until Mozilla steps ahead.

        Unfortunately they don’t have a Windows version which means no native syncing bookmarks and history
