Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.
Yay internet.
Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they’re used to experiences on mobile browsing.
Firefox + uBlock Origin
How do so many people still not do this?
I have a DNS ad blocker on my network so no need.
That definitely doesn’t catch everything. I use the same system, though, and it’s a must-do for anyone who hates ads!
I’m running it on Infoblox NIOS with multiple RPZs. One RPZ is just ads.
IPhone users can’t do this. It’s actually only available on Android. I was surprised to find this out earlier this year.
I have some friends who think they are superior because they can use ichat… It’s pretty sad. Like… Oh no, I’m a green chat box. I guess I’ll cry into Revanced and Firefox for mobile. Plus, even if I had an iPhone, I’d still be using Signal.
You may also be surprised to find out that the Safari browser that comes with iOS has extensions support and even special support for content blockers (aka ad blocking extensions) that works great.
The only way to go honestly.
If you wanna get extra comfy, also Dark Reader.
I use AdNauseum. It has uBlock built in but also clicks ads in the background, costing advertisers money, and poisoning your web profile.
