uBlock and it's ilk let you flag pieces of the DOM to block. I use it to block clutter on webpages as well as ad slots. Compare [0] (with DOM-based blocking)

Compare [0] (with DOM-based blocking) to [1] (without).

- paulmd 11y agoI normally surf with uBlock Origin and most of the filters turned on (anything that's not experimental or a subset of a larger filter), and I get a shock every now and then when I use a browser without filtering and see what the internet has turned into. What the shit, that looks nothing like the Guardian that I am used to seeing. Youtube ads are a real shocker too. About the only time I ever actually notice advertising is when some site sets up an aggressive anti-adblock or airs 2 minutes of dead air where an ad spot would have gone.

Indeed! I got this experience every time I used Chrome (rather than Firefox) on Android. The web has become quite horrible. I am now back on iOS and the author of uBlock has made a great blocker for Safari on iOS: https://www.purify-app.com/ https://www.purify-app.com/
