Honestly the lack of ad blockers in Vanadium pushes me towards Firefox even though the devs say that Firefox is far less secure. So many web sites are just hard to use on mobile without an ad blocker so I'm curious what the rest of you are doing.
Except for gecko mobile not having per-site process issolation (Fission) I get it though, its has good anti fingerprinting, isnt chromium, and has compatibility with Firefox addons (you can get around the mobile only requirement by importing a custom collection, which iirc requires Dev mode)
Mull with Adblock plus, Ghostery and Decentral eyes. Btw. I hope they soon update their icon to be Material theme compatible.
Honest question: is using those 3 addons better than sticking to just uBlock Origin?
I have read multiple times that the best is to just uBlock Origin and nothing else, since other addons are redundant and together will make your fingerprint easier to recognize.
Honest answer, I don't know. I will for sure not install another extension. What I like from Ghostery is the "auto decline cookie banner" funktion.
Bromite before it died, RIP :( Vanadium now with regular dns adblocking where security matters, Fennec where it doesn't.
Mull with ublock origin, always on VPN to my house with pihole for DNS.
I use Firefox for the "installed" web pages for quick access to internal things like Sonarr since Mull would log me out fairly often.
Firefox nightly for bleeding edge updates and also hardened it a bit through the about:config menu, regular Firefox when I need proper security for banking and whatnot, and Vanadium in case something does not work underneath Firefox which is very very rare.
Iceraven from GitHub, it's fork of Firefox but more privacy + add-ons Ghostery & uBlock origin & Bitearden. I don't need more than one browser.
Vanadium for when I need to log in and Cromite for daily browsing.
Use to use forefox, switched to just Vanadium as per Graphenes guidelines
You could just keep vanadium and change the DNS of your phone for mullvad DNS for exemple to block the ads in (nearly ) every app.
I use Vanadium and sometimes DDG or Tor. Mulls a good, hardcore browser as well.
And for vanadium, I use an ad blocking DNS, which is https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query
Isn't perfect but it blocks some ads
NextDNS with Vanadium.
To me, being able to use Vanadium in webview is a huge benefit.
Using DNS to block ads is relatively simple these days.
Fennec, basically Firefox forked. uBlock Origin + ClearURLs. In uBlock Origins I have every single filter enabled except the language ones. Also dark Reader is nice and synced with my system theme, something that doesn't work in Mull because fingerprint resistance blocks that by design.
I can't do Mull for day-to-day stuff, too many things break for me. Web apps like my work stuff, financial stuff, medical stuff, all those heavily use JavaScript and aren't the best coded so they don't like Mull very well. Fennec with uBlock Origin "just works" and very rarely do I ever have to turn off uBlock, usually disabling cosmetic filter on it fixes all my problems.
Also if you run a Firefox variant, you can enable NoScript and enable "Temporarily set top-level sites to trusted" and it will enable a lot of js websites to work without tweaks while still offering very powerful protection.
If I website doesn't work, opening it I'm Vanadium is a nice way to check if the issue is Firefox or not.
