A team of researchers says they have created the most water-repellent surface ever, challenging existing ideas about how friction works. Known as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), the ingenious new surface, which is assembled at the molecular level, has the potential to impact hundreds of commercial and industrial applications, including de-icing techniques, maritime technologies, space exploration, and even ultra-slippery cookware.

Firefox on Android works with standard Firefox extensions, uBlock Origin included.

If you don't have another active VPN, I believe Blokada has an ios version and blocks ads device-wide.

Yup, it's a fork of firefox mobile with pretty much all of the bullshit gone, plus some of the more useful stuff turned on.

Can't get it in the play store though, have to go through either fdroid, or whatever the place is they host it (I use fdroid, so I have no clue where you'd get it otherwise).

Perfect answer. It is hosted in Gitlab, but i'm not sure you can download an APK there.

There are ad blockers on both iOS and Android, you should check it out. Helps with battery and security as well
