If you hate ads, and you hate the state of the internet, run adblock. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa... Seriously. Adblock is the way you have to fight back, to change the economics of the internet. Install it, use it indiscriminately, and make sure you tell others to use it. My company makes a decent chunk of money from ads btw. Not because we can't make money another, better and cleaner way, but because it makes no sense to leave money off the table when the adblock rates are so low.

  It is for Samsung and iOS users. Both have the option of installing adblockers.

  On iOS you have an even better option: the little “readability mode” button in Safari.

  Firefox have extensions on mobile, plus ads make websites heavier, and suck more bandwidth _____________________________ Says the person with +500 tabs on chrome android

    For some reason firefox on android removed the ability to install on SD card. My cheap phone doesn't have the space to spare on the internal drive.

  You can install a system-wide adblocker if you have a Samsung phone.

  Brave browser. It is exactly the same as normal chrome on Android, but it has an ad blocker.

  Downvotes here are pathetic: "somebody made a mistake on the internet, let's show him how much of an idiot he is!"

and if you really hate ads, install AdNauseum. It "clicks" the ads and can add noise to your consumer profiles. https://adnauseam.io/ https://adnauseam.io/
