2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads (www.windowscentral.com)

  • Google is transitioning Chrome's extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the V3.
  • This means users won't be able to use uBlock Origin to block ads on Google Chrome.
  • However, there's a new iteration of the app — uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn't boast the original version's comprehensive ad-blocking features.

That doesn’t really answer my question. How does one get ublock origin on mobile?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 75 points 4 months ago

Same as on desktop. You go to the Mozilla extension site or the author's site and click add.

You use Firefox as your mobile browser

[–] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And to add to that, set all your programs and links to open in Firefox by default, instead of the YouTube app, etc. then you're blocking ads just like a desktop on every site you visit.

Why stop there? uninstall the youtube app. It's garbage. FreeTube has an Android fork now too.

There's an extensions menu in the firefox app, uBlock is listed as one of the recommend ones, all you have to do is click the plus sign to add it.
