I was reading an article from FastCompany the other day on my iPhone, until a circle requesting my email address covered half the screen.
The target size on the 'close' icon was unbearably small, to the point where I tried tapping it three times only to have this giant circle covering the content jump around the screen like it was having a seizure, only to end up larger than it was before - it had somehow zoomed in while the rest of the content didn't zoom.
Worse are the sites that include a large header bar along with an ad bar at the bottom, along with interstitial ads in the article. I've had several of these pages where I would close the ad at the bottom only for it to re-appear several seconds later as I scrolled down the screen.
I resort to manually removing <div>'s that contain ad-related content from the page if I really need the content - in the cases that Reader Mode doesn't exist.
I have enable Reader Mode by default set up on my iPhone. It's immensely useful.
UBlock origin is really the only effective ad blocking platform these days, it seems - I consistently get requests to disable AdBlock Plus when I'm using it.
- gshdg 7y agoHow do you get the iPhone to go into reader mode by default?

I just close the whole page when this stuff happens. It's not worth it, and some small part of my mind hopes that it shows up in the site usage telemetry.
