The article says mobile users are more likely to engage with the banner. Rightly so, cause it takes up precious screen real estate. What are some ways I can protect myself more when browsing the web through my phone?

Depends on the phone, but generally you can't protect yourself as well as on PC, because phones (sadly) are locked down devices running proprietary software. Best you can do is probably DNS-level blocking.

  Firefox on Android with ublock works just fine.

    Additionally, set Firefox to clear all data when selecting Quit from the menu. It's then easy enough to do a reset of any lingering bits every now and then.

if it's an android, I'm very happy with firefox + ublock.

I believe Firefox focus on iOS removes many banners or at least makes it so a consent to tracking doesn’t effectively do anything, by disabling tracking/making it easy to wipe.
