I've used it for a while then found it a little janky at time so I moved to FF. This post inspired me to try it again and I will say it seems more stable. Also, the only extension I've installed is Ublock Origin (Chrome) and it works perfectly. This is on the desktop version. It scores 100% on the D3 adblock test. I haven't gotten to play with it on my mobile devices yet but plan on it this week.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
You'll score 100% without uBlock origin using it's built in ad blocker.
Confirmed! That’s impressive…
Thanks, I was looking for a good AdBlock test, but lost it in my bookmarks. Will try the D3 on my iPhone.
AFAIK Firefox on iOS/iPadOS doesn't support extensions. Or were you referring to macOS (desktop/laptop)?
I was using desktop.
The vertical tabs were the sole reason I switched over from safari
I installed it and tried to use Ad Nauseam. There was a similar bug where I couldn’t get the extension’s settings to function either.
Bitwarden extension for Firefox loads but doesn't seem able to autofill... but it works (note: I have a self-hosted VaultWarden server, not BitWarden's cloud service).
Maybe uBlock Origin will work? It seems to be advertised on their website.
Given that this thing is a beta and based on functionality so far, I am impressed. I wish there were a way to tweak the built-in ad and tracker blockers (e.g., add/remove custom lists), but this is already impressive for the iOS/iPadOS walled garden.
I could not get uBlock Origin to work on the iOS or iPadOS versions, personally
Ditto here. On the other hand their built-in adblock seems airtight. I’d like to see how it fares against Google’s/Youtube’s anti-adblock measures.
I’m in Canada and haven’t been hit with those yet… either that or my adblocks are working really well. 😉
Recent update fixed uBO
It loads and UI seems to work, but it still doesn’t actually block ads or click them.
The recent update fixes uBO
Huh, didn't know Kagi was building that. Seems pretty ambitious
At this moment you have a almost unique fingerprint, so I don’t know how privacy is involved with this browser?
Thanks for the info. I’ve downloaded it in my iPhone and will on my iPad when I get home. I like that it automatically blocks everything.

Yup, I’m a proud subscriber of that community. Not sure that it has to do with this browser thread though.
