I’m running LineageOS without google. The default browser doesn’t have ad blocking. On my laptop I’ve gotten pretty used to an ad free experience with librewolf and uBlock origin. Anyone have a recommendation for a browser on F-Droid with a solid ad blocking experience?

Ironfox come with UBlock Origin installed. A word of caution - I always find that browser very slow loading pages.
If Brave interests you their fdroid repo is https://brave-browser-apk-release.s3.brave.com/fdroid/repo
Brave should not interest you.
Until Mozilla makes their browsers secure on Android, I’ll use Brave.
What’s insecure about it?
IronFox has it’s own repo and you can add uBlock origin
TIL about adding more F-Droid repos. Wonder why they aren’t on the main one?
I use ironfox I think it may be from an added repository though.
I’m running waterfox with ublock origin, would surprise me if that’s not available there?
not seeing it! https://search.f-droid.org/?q=waterfox&lang=en
You’re right, apparently it’s been in the works for a long time but it’s not there yet https://github.com/BrowserWorks/Waterfox-Android/issues/40
Sounds like fennec should be a similar experience, haven’t used it myself but others here seem to recommend it as well.
Fennec!
It’s basically just Firefox with some privacy upgrades like removed telemetry. Available right on default FDroid repos.
You can install uBlock Origin natively into it. The full version. Plus by not using a Chromium browser you fight against Google’s control over the web.
I’ve been using Fennec for a long time, and I’m very happy with it
