I've been using uBlock Origin on the Nightly build for a while and it has been an absolute godsend. I only wish it were easier to try out new add-ons without having to mess around with the collections.

But uBlock Origin is one of the add-ons that you can use even with the stable version.
When did that happen? Last time I tried, stable only allowed like 3 extensions, none of which was uBlock, so I've been using Nightly ever since.
That can’t be, uBo was one of the starting extensions for when they created the new version: https://www.ghacks.net/2020/08/07/three-reasons-not-to-upgra...
A number of months now.
More like 2+ years.
Oh cool, they finally reverted their mobile-user-hostile approach and allow for ublock origin now. Hopefully they fully revert their breaking changes circa summer 2021 that drove a lot of users away.
Interesting -- a lot of folks don't like my comment above. But rather than discuss, downvotes. No complaints here, people will vote their agreement or disagreement on the internet. Just a curious thing overall. Do people generally think Firefox Mobile had a _good_ vision when they overhauled the UI, decreased accessibility, and disabled extensions, making the app more or less unusable for many folks?
Probably because you ignored the other comments that explained to you that you are wrong.
