Why is firefox on android not an option for you?

Firefox has extensions on Android. I appreciate that switching your browser is potentially a whole thing, but the option is there.

Firefox is great on Android. You get full ublock origin and most other plugins too.

Don't use Firefox on Android. Use Firefox Nightly instead.

On android, you can enjoy better experience with Firefox + ublock origin.

The best part of Firefox for Android is that browser extensions work with it. That means you can have uBlock Origin on your phone.
