Just like the title says; I'm interested in being able to sleep to YouTube without ads, but I don't fuck with their business practices and they don't deserve my money. Unfortunately, I'm also a very inexperienced pirate and I'm unsure where to look.

Edit: for clarity I'm using a OnePlus 7 Pro with earbuds

I'm looking for a browser on Android which will let me use Ublock Origin and NoScript.

For now I use Brave and a DNS filter on my mobile, it works well for YouTube

I use vanadium and adblocking on VPN , DNS adblock works as well. Bromite is a good option as well. The thing about putting Firefox on android for privacy/security reasons have a big issue , webview is chromium based . So basically you just get Firefox on top of everything webview has.

I see. That makes sense - I wonder if there are ROMs with a gecko-based implementation of WebView.

Well, I don't use WebView much, if at all, so I suppose it's fine for the most part. I might even disable it at this point

Will I have to manually harden Firefox, or is there a hardened version like Librewolf for Android?

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fennec. Idk if its hardened enough or not tho

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

firefox beta, you can use any desktop extensions by enabling an experimental feature.

Just normal Firefox stable works too. They have a Limited selection of extensions, but ublock and noscript are both available.

You can also create an extension collection and add that - it lets you add almost any extension to mobile, though I think collections only work on beta or nightly I might be wrong though.

[–] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Never heard of extension collections. Might be a beta thing.

I have not. But reports from a year ago suggest that it's not what it claims to be. I'm also happy with Firefox as it is. I'll stay with Firefox for now, thank you for the suggestion.
