A high school teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her students. Then Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson stepped up to the challenge.
Not to beat the point to death, but I’m using FF and UBO on a stock Pixel 7a. I’m browsing Lemmy using Sync, which means i need to purposefully open the link in Firefox, or it uses the Sync built in browser
I love when pages or websites have so much bloat, ads and bs that it’s actually a huge effort to try and use their site, but then if you use an adblocker to actually be able to use their site, you get notices like OHH NOO YOU ARE USING AN ADBLOCK WE ARE SO SAD PLEASE DISABLE AND HELP US PAY FOR INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM yadayada… lol please. Hypocrites. If good marketing is all about removing user friction, I don’t understand why they add this much friction as ads and spam.
So so so so many ads in that page that I genuinely lost the article in the middle, that’s a first.
I didn’t see a single ad, I’m using this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
Will that work on my pixelgooglephone?
Yes just install Firefox and the ublock addon.
Yes, Mozilla has had a browser on android for a while now. It also has many of the same privacy addons as the PC version

But if your default browser is Firefox then sync uses a webview based on that. With uBO.
I checked my settings in Sync. The default browser is set to internal at the moment
Default browser in Android, not Sync.
Pictures are better than words
Whatever internal browser Sync is using, it isn’t Firefox. My default browser on my device is Firefox.
I thought about in the Android settings:
Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Browser app
But, Sync could directly call the Chrome package name (hard coded), which would be a d*ck move and shit design.
Normally, Android uses as “Custom tab” the default browser in the Android Settings.
Why aren’t you using an ad block?
