Yo, after I switched to Firefox, I realized its mobile app offers ad blocking add-ons for mobile. Holy shit was that a dealmaker for me. I actually want to browse the web on my phone again.
uBlock Origin is very powerful thing. It can remove link tracking (I posted links before if you're interested); it can remove parts of site; it can change JavaScript and its response. Basically, everything is possible.
Do I still need the "I still don't care about cookies" extension if I add the filter list?
