I've finally growth annoyed enough at ads popping up on the Chrome app that I've switched to Firefox with uBlock installed. Feels a lot better. Sites load a lot faster and when I go to tap something an ad doesn't pop up to take me somewhere else.

Sir Unimaginative posted:You want uBlock Origin, actually. Long story, but uBlock isn't supported these days while uBlock Origin is. I double checked what which one I downloaded and it is uBlock Origin that I have. So all good here, but thanks!

Firefox mobile fixed my biggest annoyance with it and added much better video ui controls in it's latest update.

BisterdDave posted:I should've mentioned that I purely use Chrome on my phone, so I'm wondering if there's a way go have my favorites/bookmarks immediately on startup instead of having to press a couple buttons to get to my bookmarks. Like the other posters said Firefox defaults to your bookmarks like Safari does and you can download uBlock Origin to kill ads.

I'm annoyed the Android Comixology app doesn't display download size like the iOS app does.

CodfishCartographer posted:Any firefox add-ons (or alternate browsers) that can move the tab manager down to the bottom of the screen? I find it way more comfortable to use down there. Opera seemed to work well, as it had a bottom-screen tab manager and adblock, but it hosed up webms. Firefox obviously has ublock and plays webms just fine, but the tab stuff’s all at the top. I found this browser which seems alright and fulfills my needs, and has decent reviews, but I’d prefer something with a bit more weight and support behind it rather than just some random browser. I looked around and found this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/ But it doesn't appear to work for Android Firefox.

Little late, but I replaced Chrome with Firefox (plus uBlock Origin) on my phone and I'm pretty happy with it's performance and features. Haven't noticed any problems other people have mentioned.

The latest Firefox for Android Beta release makes it look almost exactly like Chrome mobile.

Guillermus posted:Android browser chat: What do you guys use? I don't like Chrome and I've been using Firefox for years but lately I'm using Firefox Focus and I'm liking Microsoft Edge (it feels like the desktop browser). Firefox Beta with uBlock Origin. Also been playing around with FireFox Nightly as that is the mobile version delivering the speed boosts Mozilla's been working on. sweart gliwere posted:Also worth considering, a decent reusable metal or glass bottle. If she needs to track exact ounces, just count #refills in literally any note or keep type app (or an index card), then multiply it by 12oz or 25oz or whatever at the end of the day. If she wants to clear a gallon per day of water separately from other drinks, great, even less work since it's counting up then stopping. Guillermus posted:I removed Opera (not even using it anymore on my PC) and will try to use Firefox with ublock always. I'm honestly thinking on watching YouTube always on Firefox with ublock because I hate waiting for ads when I just want to watch some lovely YouTube video. Not quite what you asked for, but you can set bookmarks as the default page a new tab opens to via Settings -> General -> Home -> Panels.

Edit: I'm real dumb and confused the Phone app with the Messenger app. Edit 2: Google's default Phone app is blindingly white with it's latest update. What's a good alternative to it? OhFunny fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Aug 28, 2018 |

I guess this is old news, but videos on the YouTube app get capped at 1080p now? Even the old ones I know went to 1440p.

https://privacyinternational.org/campaigns/investigating-apps-interactions-facebook-android Privacy International has found there are apps that are transmitting data to Facebook the moment you open them even if you don't have a Facebook account. The big ones being Spotify, Yelp, and The Weather Channel. The complete list of apps they tested is in the link.

God drat why didn't I install a Dark Mode add-on for FireFox Mobile until today? Now every website matches the sweet blackness of the OLED option the the SA app has.
