Could be using a mobile browser. Chrome's Google account integration makes it really annoying to switch.

use firefox focus for casual link openining, firefox mobile+ublock for the rest.

Not always feasible, but pi hole makes all devices and software magically ad blocking. Just works!

why? what website works on chrome and fails on both firefox focus and firefox mobile + ublock origin? i have been using this setup since focus was introduced and it has worked 100% for me. there are bugs but what software doesnt so can you give me some concrete examples when this wouldn't?

I’m just providing an alternative. Not everyone wants to use Firefox, and many apps have use built in browsers for links like Reddit and TikTok.

This page looks clean with Wipr on iOS. No empty ad cells or anything.
