Despite criticisms, I've been using the Brave browser on Android, which is pretty much Chrome with integrated AdBlock plus. Though there is some level of irksome override with some advertisers, it's been about the best overall experience for me. May actually switch my desktop browser at home when I build my new computer.



For browser I already use firefox, so I could easily add ublock origin (or, I suppose, adblock plus). Having a DNS level adblocker is just a nice to have for anything not browser based that decides ads are a good idea.

In all honesty it's pretty rare that I use anything not browser based that might have ads, but on principle I'd like to keep it around.


I understand... I tried Firefox (mainline and beta) on Android with ublock, and it was just unstably slow for me, let alone the alien UX.
