Firefox Android's FIFA ads

4 days ago by turdas to c/firefox

This is the third avenue of FIFA World Cup advertising I've had to block in Firefox for Android (two different home page ads and now this notification), and my patience is starting to run thin.

Are there good mobile browser alternatives that support the same extension Firefox does (in my case, uBlock, SponsorBlock and Video Background Play Fix)?

Also, and I imagine the answer to this is "no", do those alternatives support the sync features of Firefox? I actually use and quite like those.

Hmm I've never once seen an ad but I have all the home page stuff turned off.

I tried toggling them and none of them showed anything like you screenshot.

I'd also think turning off any setting with the word "sponsor" might work

Edit: realized the screenshot is supposed to be a notification... I also haven't ever seen a notification outside of functional ones, and I don't see any setting about it anywhere...

For me there's a class of notification labeled "Marketing". It's disabled now but obviously wasn't when I got the notification, presumably on account of it being new.

Wow that is egregious. I don't have that but like the other person mentioned I have studies disabled so maybe it's part of that at first

Similar to me, and haven't seen that ad. I also checked that all notification channela are enabled for me.

There is a setting: Data collection -> Studies. That may be the reason for OP. But if data collection is disabled then it also disables studies:
