it's literally impossible to read an article that isnt spam bombed with ads and bullshit now, isnt it
Yeah it's crazy, but not as crazy as the low low prices I can offer you on my products! Would you like to consume product my guy?
I'll only pay for products that will help me with my oral fixation wink wink
Say no more fam. I stock the best dental products money can buy.
I've been using ad blockers for so long that I almost forget ads even exist. Then I read comments like this, and wonder how anyone can browse the internet without one. I remember what it was like before I used them, and I know that it's gotten much worse since then.
I use adblock on my pc but what am I to do mid poopage?
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.
hell yes thank you
maybe someting to consider the next time you buy a phone, eh?
note to self in fifteen years
And even better: Mull (based on Firefox) + uBlock Origin
is mull an app?
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
I know tech literate people that don't use one and it drives me crazy up to walls when I see them use the internet.
With ublock and pihole I'm like "what ads?"
Do a Google search for the article you want to read. Iirc it's right click on ellipses and then view cached page. That should just get you text only.
