I use lite on firefox android it's great

It's funny my Motorolla phone keeps installing random games on it like ugh...

View on HN

Why use lite on Firefox/android, considering the normal one is available too?

Oh yeah my bad I mis-rememebered, I use lite on chrome pc and the regular mobile firefox

So you are using Firefox on Android which is frankly janky but not on computer where it actually shines ?

Still primarily Chrome but use Firefox for other accounts

I believe the parent means proper full-fat uBlock Origin. Not the neutered lite WebExtension Manifest v3 versions. Using real Firefox with uBlock Origin on Windows, macOS, and Android with sync is simple to set up and works great.

Which model is that? I have a single "Moto" app on mine that is un-removable and that is all bloat I can find.

Moto G Power 5G 2024

It is a cheap phone I think I got it new at $160 and that's the thing it has 8GB of RAM, the pictures are subpar (blurring) but other than that it works for me, multi-app non-game

This is on Verizon but yeah it'll just install new games and say "Enjoy these new apps" I'm like wtf I think most recently one of the games it installed is Mahjong

edit: apparently it's MotoApps doing it

If MotoApps are doing this, it is impressive they can also do that on Samsung phones:

I got a notification from Verizon App Manager so it might be that one too, I disabled that also

Oh my bad that's literally the link you posted yeah

I got MotoApps from this post https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola/comments/1dl001c/motorola_...

How? Mozilla famously refused to add uBlock Origin lite to extension store

I was mis-remembering, elbatorated in another comment, I'm using regular UBO on android firefox
