Yeah, those are awful. Can't wait for mobile browsers to finally get ublock origin extension so you could delete those elements Though that'd still be tedious :(

Firefox on Android has had this for years. Personally I prefer AdNauseam so I can be combative instead of passively blocking.

Firefox on mobile has ublock origin, and yes, it is quite tedious given how the UI ends up working on mobile.

You might enjoy this benchmark:

Some highlights: - Vivaldi is suprisingly fast and has good ad blocking - Kiwi plus the Ublock Origin extension (UBO) might be /even faster/ - Firefox also allows UBO, but sadly it is relatively slow

Well the other option appears to be having them always visible so my 6.1” phone feels like the original 3.5” iPhone with the keyboard up.

As we all know, it is completely impossible to have the header and footer just scroll with the content the way it used to in the 90s.
