This was it for me. I don't really care about the stupid "hit the monkey and win" blinking animated .gifs, and lived with them for years without really worrying, but in 2015 ad blockers aren't sunglasses, they're condoms.

Furthermore, I installed uBlock in Firefox for Android because ads were getting so bad that it was essentially impossible to view some sites. It was a last-ditch effort to offer the content one last chance to survive. If publishers would prefer I not see their content at all, that's fine... I was almost already there, anyway.

In response to jedberg's question: I personally don't mind but I don't believe I'm as petulant and entitled as the typical loud mouthed redditor, but reddit made that bed, and now they get to lay in it.

This in itself is enough of a reason for me to use Firefox on Android and recommend it to everyone who uses Android.

There are a lot of other great things about it, but the fact that it allows installation of extensions (and therefore allows adblocking for non-rooted devices) is huge.

Agreed. Not sure why Firefox on Android has such a low user base but I wouldn't consider anything else at this point.

I certainly would not use Chrome, despite its extensions.

You should easily be able to allow self hosted ads in most good ad blockers, right?
