Help Does ad-blocking in android Firefox actually work?

[davexnet2]

Hello,
I've added Ublock origin, then Adblock Plus as a Firefox add-on,
but plenty of sites still have ads, for example the video ads in espnfc.us in almost every article.

I'm using a kitkat android phone .

On the PC, Ublock Origin stops those ads.

Anybody seen anything similar?

Thanks for any info.
Dave

As you say, varies by site. Also somewhat a moving target I think, as websites try to counter what adblockers are doing and adblockers try to counter what websites are doing.

I use Firefox with AdBlock plus sometimes. I use it if I'm expecting to hit heavy ads (like following links from google news)... it's certainly better at blocking than nothing at all. But overall I find Firefox slower than chrome, so I opt for chrome when surfing familiar sites like A/F.
