Unfortunately this thread is the first Google hit on "ubuntu phone adblock". Even less fortunate is that I also don't have a solution, yet, other than using a hosts-file to block advertising domains, which is not really sufficient.

I wish Firefox would run on the Ubuntu Phone.

Yes maybe but i found a solution if you have an android rooted phone just install adblock for android or adaway, update hosts file and copy this on your ubuntu phone at /etc and normaly it's done

How to copy?

Just recently purchased Ubuntu phone.

How do you copy the host file to /etc/.

Regular sudo doesn't work. Couldn't figure it out how to mount filesystem as rw.

Any ideas?

It works for me. You're most likely to get the best possible advice if you are as descriptive as you possibly can. At the least verbatim copies of the commands you entered and what the result was.
