Firefox with uBlock. Just plain old FF extensions. No root required.

Firefox for Android is seriously underrated IMO.

Possibly because it was very poor when it first came out? That's certainly why I switched away.

Me too. Also because the default Chrome was good enough.

But i came back to firefox recently and now it is my default. The "Reading list" feature is so good productivity-wise.

And using firefox again made me realize that features like Reading-list, Tracking-protection, or even offline-mode would never be implemented in Chrome because of the fundamental conflict of interest between its users and Google
