Extension-enabled mobile browsers note for Android users #13

Closed Orangestar12 closed 10 months ago

Orangestar12 commented 10 months ago

Android users can use mobile browsers that support extensions such as Kiwi Browser to install uBlock Origin and similar adblockers. I noticed in the source that the blocker differentiates between desktop and mobile users. Should this kind of option be mentioned?

FYI, Kiwi browser is not supported by uBlock Origin. I would also avoid Kiwi browser, as it disables uBlock Origin and other content blockers on a long list of websites (including some ad sites): https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src/blob/master/extensions/renderer/extension_injection_host.cc#L56 Thanks

Whether it is supported by the extension or not has no bearing on the fact that the extension does work as advertised with it. While your list is concerning from a privacy and trust standpoint none of the items in that list are particularly worrisome, especially for a user who already practices safe browsing.

My comment stands.

Hi @Orangestar12, thank you for raising the question!

The latest version of the plugin no longer uses a hard-coded list of suggested plugins and browser extensions, and the message is fully customizable.

By default, the message contains a link to my blog where I list some popular options, and also includes a note on browser extensions that have been sold and may no longer work as expected.

Works for me. Closing as solved, then. Thanks!

No problem, and thank you!
