uBlock Origin also works very well on mobile, but you have to use Firefox. Mobile Chrome doesn't allow any extensions and I think we know why.

Because the APIs where too permissive and plugins would be a threat to privacy of the user because they could intercept everything.

So instead of fixing the API to enable enduser privacy from third party plugins, the API was simply removed to remove enduser privacy from trackers.

Yeah I know, I should have added a /s to my comment.
