Comment on The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance

I’ve recently moved away from Chrome to Firefox and the transition was so seamless that I’m surprised. The main reason for the change is that Firefox for android now allows addons, serious addons not just the mobile ones. Before I was using a chrome / kiwi browser combo. So happy that now I can sync my desktop and phone :)

What add-ons in particular made you make the change?

uBlock, Clean URLs, and “I still don’t care about cookies”
Are the must haves for me.

Is the last one still useful if you enable the cookies filter under annoyances in uBlock?

I didn’t know about that actually. I’ll try it out and remove cookies extension. Thanks!

Bypass paywalls clean. It’s great for reading news articles under a paywall.

Not OP but the standard two ones: uBlock origin and NoScript. Added bonus is an addon to continue video view with screen off.
People constantly crying over the ads in their youtube app. Well i just watch in Firefox and if i want to watch an audiobook video to fall asleep to, i don’t even have to drain my battery.
