Works great on Firefox for Android, too. No more app store popups!

Thanks to Google, those full-screen app store ads are going to go away soon: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2015/09/mobile-fr...

TIL Firefox for Android has addons. I have apparently been living under a rock (called Chrome).

That's the straw that broke the camel's back for me, personally. A lot of sites out there were becoming completely unreadable.

For me it was mostly those building up a slow rage, and then an audio ad was what actually pissed me off enough to drop whatever I was doing and install it.

FF for Android just works amazingly poorly for me.. not to mention I really like chrome's tabs now coming up under the task list separately, instead of the tab-like interface.

I tried FF on my phone, simply for uBlock, but it was just too sluggish to actually use.

My Problem is that Chrome feels so much more responsive than Firefox, when scrooling.

Recent Firefox releases solve that issue. Try Developer Edition or a Nightly.

I may try that again... I last tried regular release a couple months ago.. some sites and the ads are so horrible in mobile without an ad blocker... but firefox was way too sluggish.
