Firefox on Android supports extensions, including uBlockO, and it works perfectly. It can be set as the default browser and voilà, no more ads ever.


Agreed. My point was playing with hosts file is definitely not something easy on a mobile, or something most people would want to bother with. Especially when it comes to adding exceptions and getting some sites to work.

For computers and Android devices Firefox and uBO are far more capable solution than DNS blocking, at least when it comes to browsing.


I am writing this comment from Android Firefox with uBlock origin installed on it.
