    Can anyone recommend one? My Lumia 630 can't take Firefox and IE is plagued by ads. Or an effective ad blocker would help. I'm on holiday and only have my phone for internet.

    Too bad you don't have a phone running android. I happily use the AdBlockPlus browser on my tablets. But I checked and there are no plans to develop it for Windows phones probably because the market share is so low.

    Thanks guys - UC Browser is big improvement over IE but the small screen and my hand tremor make for hard going!

    Had to revert to IE. Both UC and Maxthon keep generating out of memory errors. This phone only has 512mb so isn't win 10 compatible. Guess it's time to upgrade.
