Ad blocking on android (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Nimous@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I would like to pirate on my phone sometimes and the ads on websites are problem. I'm not newbie, I know I can install firefox and get the uBlock on it but firefox android is a little bit slow so I prefer to use Opera browser; opera has an ad blocker but it's a joke compared to uBlock. I'm in a restricted country and my phone is not rooted, so if I use ad block apps like AdAway or Adgaurd they need to create a VPN connection in order to function unless the phone is rooted, and that VPN connection doesn't let me to enable another VPN in order to visit filtered websites or apps.

I'm not stuck, but felt if I ask here there may be another smart solution for ad blocking on android that can solve these small problems; and the solution would help other people so be kind and provide what you have.

Wait since when is firefox considered slow ? For me the speed is decent i dont have a 1000$ phone so i dont expect it to be as fast as on my pc

It's fast enough to be enjoyable but opera has a nicer UI and since you can't use extensions, the speed is consistent.

opera is chinese spyware tho, just for a nice ui thats not worth

My plan is returning to firefox but I have too much stuff in the opera's Flow. I must spend some time in future to fix this and abandon opera.
