Oh, i didn't know it was a fork. I'd take adblock over it though, just for the fact it blocks rogue malicious javascript along with ads.
I generally recommend Firefox for people that don't use it, but there are more secure forks too if that's your jam.
I mean Gecko based browsers are actively recommended against on mobile. Chromium based browsers are recommended. Also I use mullvadVPN DNS based ad blocking, and I also have Brave that has built in ad blocking. Do yourself a favor and ditch adblock in favor of Ublock origin
never heard of it. by whom? for what reason?
I haven't really dived into this but I'm pretty sure GOS dev are one of the groups to recommend against it
