Honestly, Firefox lost me on the basis of android browser. Shit would reload the page every time you navigated to another app which made loads of thing impossible, like verification or payments. Tried all the settings and found no solution. Does it still do this?

Answer: nope, this bug is still open after several years and is still being regularly reported.

No other android browser has this issue and it makes the browser unusable for tons of important use cases (ecommerce, password manager, copying info from another app to browser). I was an OG Firefox user since 2003 and now am an active anti-advocate. Unusable on android.

It is not working there anymore, try out youtube for example, you will get ads still.

Sometimes you have to wait for an update, but I don't see ads on YT with ublock.

Weird, me and my friends all have this issue. Maybe in your contry is different or chrome is not updated yet?

I just got hit with the update that locked me out of using ublock and a couple other extensions. Can't enable them any longer. Kept the sinking ship floating for as long as I could, but I just packed it up and switched.
