honestly, I am underwhelmed by android chrome, switched to mobile firefox (with adblock plus) and removed chrome icon. On desktops, I don't get the appeal of chrome at all... too resource-hungry for my taste.

The more somebody thinks he know whats better for me than myself, and pushes stuff down my throat, the more I resist, regardless of added value. same for school, same for these things

slightly off-topic, but i'm looking really forward to having firefox released on iOS. Ads really are killing the whole mobile web experience..

You can get rid of ads on iOS now by using something like Weblock¹ (or use your own proxy server).

Not sure if I trust weblock, but my Raspberry Pi functions as a DNS server with a few ad domain lists and it works 99% of the time. No need for a proxy server.
