Already had uBlock Origin.
Just need the ones that remove all the stupid cookie/permission popups.
uBlock Origin has cookie/popups filters that you can enable in its settings that work pretty well
Got a “disable your adblocker” popup on that article. The third bullet point in the article is about reducing annoyances like ads. Ridiculous.
androidpolice have had lots of articles about ad blocking and picking the best one etc.
Then they won’t let anyone view the site when they follow that advice…
The site owners have different values and notices than any one writer or journalist. The problem with ads is they became too intrusive. So ad blockers block all, including on respectful websites. It’s better for consumers to block all, but journalism does with no revenue and most don’t want to pay. We don’t yet have a middle ground.
Somebody should make a standard for non-intrusive, not spying, ethical ads (no clickbaits, no contrasting colors, related to the article, etc. etc.).
Adblocks would have websites that strictly follow these guidelines in a whitelist by default (opt-out).
That’s the middle ground. But, I doubt any big ad company like Google or Meta would push for it, if not against.
There’s no such thing as ethical marketing.
Long time Firefox user here. I’m pretty excited about this
An about:config toggle to enable unoptimized extensions on your own risk, would still have been nice.
Even now, i see no chance for niche extensions who would work fine on mobile, to be enabled.

The option to install any extension has always been possible it’s just a tad more work to get setup.
I did this ages ago, I just add the extensions I want to the list and then they appear to let me install them
I’ve been using Fennec for some time. It’s a Firefox fork that lets you install any extension from the Firefox repository. It uses the “addon group” workaround though, hopefully this version of Firefox will work just like the desktop version.
Game changer!
I wish they would carry on the momentum and also finally support hardware keyboard shortcuts. This is the one thing that’s killing Android tablets for me (I’m not willing to use a Chromium-based browser): https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/need-more-physical-keyboard-support-for-firefox-mobile-on/idi-p/3836
