Are the ads really that awful, or just in an area where google isn't winning already?

  Have you ever surfed the web on mobile, without and ad blocker?

    Mobile really is far worse than desktop web without a blocker, especially on Chrome on Android compared to my previous iOS or Windows Phones. I'd never seen so many driveby attempts to install crappy software.

      That was one of the driving factors that made me switch to firefox (from chrome): I can use uBlock on mobile now.

      The desktop web is still a horrible experience, especially on slow connections or slow computers. Turn off adblock, open the inspector and you'll see ads consuming >90% of bandwidth, memory and CPU, even on mainstream sites. It really is an absurd situation.
