Huh. I was under the impression that proper extension support (eg ublock origin) only came about recently?
You are correct in the proper extension support part. Until recently FF Android only supported a handful of selected addons made specifically for it.
uBlock Origin however has been one of those for almost a decade now.
I'm sorry you have been suffering ads all this time.
There were a few years when only a handful were supported. Before that it was as open as now, leaving compatibility responsibility to the extension developers.
Been working for a lomg time now.
Well then. I'm unsure what news article I read that spurred me to try Firefox on mobile, but that's my recollection of the order of events.
