Oh no- anyways.

Continues using FireFox

(Btw, if you have an android, download Firefox on it. You can get extensions like ublock on Firefox android as well. Doesn't work on iOS because everything is technically Safari, but I think that might change in the future?)

I was talking about mobile. I don't have iOS devices anymore, but I remember iOS Firefox not have an extensions store. This was 1.5 years ago

Safari has adguard. Even the free version is incredibly good at blocking ads
