Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.
As they note in the article, this is a temporary measure, I.E. guaranteed to break soon.
Start switching to Firefox now so you’re done when they finally turn it of. Ignore any other Chromium based browsers, it’s unlikely they have the manpower to extend MV2 beyond what Google supports with their LTS releases.
Firefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.
Blame Apple for that, as for the longest time they only allowed using the Safari engine on iOS. Apparently that’s still the case outside the EU now, meaning Mozilla would need to maintain two versions on iOS.
On any other operating system, Firefox is by far the best at blocking ads with uBlock Origin.
Orion browser on iOS supports Firefox and Chrome extensions. It’s relatively new still, but I’ve been using it without any issue with uBO
Apple limits mobile browsers a shit ton. When you get Firefox on iOS, you don’t get Firefox, you get what’s basically a safari front end. This is the reason you can install uBlock Origin or other extensions on the android version of Firefox, but be unable on the iOS version.
I know mate, but this isn’t about installing extensions. Both Vivaldi and Brave have built-in adblockers in their iOS versions. That is not prevented or restricted by Apple.
Yep, I wish Firefox stepped up in this matter, since their competition can implement decent adblockers on iOS, while dealing with the exact same limitations Apple has set.
Ios is never going to allow this. The best option is pihole and vpn
Ads are necessary curse for humanity. The general mass will never switch to open source or challenging alternatives and it sux
iOS already allows adblocker features for 3rd party browsers. Both Vivaldi and Brave have working adblockers, but Firefox does not.
Thank you. Glad one person has the ability to actually comprehend what I said. Vivaldi - and several others - does ad blocking on iOS right now.
Or rather,… iOS isn’t
Install uBO?
What
On iOS the Orion browser lets you use Firefox or chrome mods.
This. Orion is the best browser for iOS.
Just install AdGuard. Works great.
Completely anecdotally, but I’ve noticed that in the last few months, ublock origin installs on the Mozilla addons site has gone up. So i think people are already moving.
Eh.
After years and years of Chrome I just up and switched on Friday when they finally pulled the plug.
No regrets. No waving from the stern of the ship as I sail away from Chromeland.
If they choose to take away a valuable tool I consider necessary for browsing the web, then I have no loyalty to them and can easily move on. Took all of 10 seconds to import my shit into Firefox and be on my way.
Bye, Chrome. Thanks for being useful, until you weren’t.
You can still block ads while shoving your data up Google’s ass, here is how.
Don’t use Chrome
JUST FU***** CHANGE BROWSER ALREADY! Why you have to be so stupid to use Chrome?
You should see people hanging onto windows instead of switching to any other OS…
According to the people I know, “It’s better” because they won the browser speed race without looking at anything else.
you can enable ublock in chrome by downloading firefox from chrome, installing it, then installing ublock in firefox and finally removing chrome
Why jump through all these hoops, and lessen the security of your browser in the process, just to do something that is being fully stripped out soon anyway?
Just install Firefox. It’s not like you can’t import your bookmarks and such.

Or like, just switch already?
People will do anything, but use Firefox
I don’t think that comma belongs there
, Yeah I don’t, think so either,.

In what world does google docs etc not work in firefox? They’re webapps
Use librewolf or fennec (Firefox forks)
IronFox for LibreWolf fans on Android.
I used ironfox too, just a lot of website functionality was broken using it. (At least for me and this was months ago). Settled on fennec.
I use IronFox all the time. For me almost nothing is broken.
Once a year I find one low value site that I have to load in Cromite to see what it is, and then I never use that trash site again.
In other words, IronFox fulfills 100% of all my browsing needs excellently.
I used Mull before IronFox, and my experience there was excellent as well.
There is no good reason to use Chrome today or even some years back when Mull was the thing.
Been using it with uBlock Origin in medium mode which breaks even more sites and I don’t have much trouble with broken sites.
For the occasional website that just refuses to work, I use Cromite.
This, of course, will depend on the sites you use as well so YMMV.
I main ironfox and use a base version of firefox for the occasional websites that break.

Why bother? Chromium browsers suck.
