You can use uBlock on FF for Android!?

I really want uBlock and uMatrix like on the desktop. When I tried from within FF on my phone neither were supported.

Yes, as well as many other extensions. I'm using Self-Destructing Cookies, Desktop by Default, Smarter Scrolling and Android Text Reflow in addition to uBlock, thus tweaking my mobile browsing experience to something much better than the stock browser.

Were you using the iPhone version? That, like all alternative browsers on iOS, is just a shell around Safari, not the real thing.

Similarly, the recently unveiled Firefox Focus is a wrapper around webview.

We seem to be heading towards a browser engine monoculture, and i am not sure i like that even if said engine is open source.

And here i am, browsing with Firefox for Android with ublock origin installed.

Yes, you can. It's the reason I use it on my phone. Chrome Mobile is faster, but I cannot tolerate ads on the big screen and on my phone they are 100x more unnerving.

On Firefox for Android I am currently using;

- UBlock Origin

- NoScript

- HTTPS Everywhere

- Self-Destructing Cookies

- Better Privacy (remove Flash cookies and delete Local Storage)

- Canvas Blocker

I've found most plugins that work on desktop Firefox work on Android Firefox.
