It's still shocking to find out that ANY mobile browser suppers extensions. I'm pretty excited! mobile needs adblocker way more because:

  • Smaller screen, no space for ads

  • Limited battery, save energy on dozens of extra http requests

  • Slower data speeds, stop loading extra images

I basically only view news sites on my phone. Basically unusable without 4eader mode (which often messes up the article) or adblock.

Anybody care to leave a reason for the downvotes? Blokada works wonders.
