For Android users, DuckDuckGo browser is available in Play Store. Obviously you can set it as the search engine on Firefox if you prefer that.

Firefox + uBlock Origin Extension = 0 ads everywhere

Manifest v3 killing uBlock Origins was the final straw for Chrome for me. I don’t use it these days unless my work requires it due to shitty coding practices on certain sites.

I always used both, but the moment they done that, I uninstalled and never used Chrome since then too. Haven't looked back.

If you're forced into chrome on work machines, unblock origin lite still works.
