Not on mobile

I used to use NextDNS a lot but some things would get messed up so I'd have to sometimes disable it and then I got lazy and just have kept it off for like a year

On Android is there a better solution when using Chrome?



Not using Chrome. Mobile Firefox has adblocking on Android.


On iOS, you can use Orion by Kagi, which is webkit-based, but supports Firefox plugins. UBlock Origin for Firefox works well there too.


Or Brave. Or AdGuard.


uBlock Origin Lite is probably the best option, but in my experience mobile adblocking goes Firefox (with uBlock Origin) > Safari (with 1Blocker) > Chrome (with uBlock Origin Lite).

edit: Erp, actually, it seems mobile Chrome doesn't have extension support. I only actually use Chrome on a Chromebook, I assumed Android was comparable.


Almost any other browser. I've used Firefox and Brave on Android with adblocking


Firefox supports extensions (uBlock Origin, Video Background Play Fix - these two are enough for me)

most of the browsers have built-in adblockers, but I would suggest to stay way from browsers not supporting extensions

other browsers with (limited) extension support on Android - Edge (MS), Yandex (RU), Quetta (CN), Kiwi browser (discontinued, I used this, then switched to IceRaven FF fork, the UI still ain't as good, but at least it's developed)


yeah I got a lifetime license for Adguard (no affiliation) & been using that for three years now - it's been great.
