A comment on Chrome Won. Parent comment

Firefox is the only android browser with ad-blocking plugins enabled. That makes it the only usable browser on mobile.

Sucks that they don't have an IOS version, but Apple is the problem there, not Mozilla.

Firefox mobile is the only browser with actual ad blocking.

Adblocking is more than pure resource blocking (which afaik Brave, Samsung, iOS et. al.) currently implement. In fact, the smaller amount of ads I would see would be blocked this way.

I have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, reddit and in the past Tumblr ad free due to element hiding capabilities that are non-present in any other browser I know except Firefox mobile with ublock origin.

Edit: I replied to the wrong comment. I guess it's early.

Try Brave. It has built-in ad-blocking and tracking protection on iOS and Android. I use the iOS version.

Samsung's built in browser has ad-blocking plugins now that work quite well too.

Uh, Firefox has an iOS version. Of course it's webkit, but it has Sync :)

Count Opera in. It has integrated ad blocking.
