"dumpster fires of ads" I assumed most readers here use Ublock Origin or comparable software to weed out most ads. Yes, I generally read the articles first.

I've yet to find a good solution on the chrome app on my phone, which is where I do most of my reading

  Have you tried out the Samsung Internet Browser? I ask because it has support for adblockers.

  You can block ads at DNS level. This will not only block ads on webpages but increase your overall privacy. Some options: - NextDNS.io (both desktop and mobile) - Blokada (Android) - DNSCloak (iOS) - Other Public filtered DoH services like ahadns.com or doh.tiar.app (no app required at all)

  Apple phones have ad blocking, at least in the browser. Isn't there something for Android? Although yes ads are still an issue inside apps.

    Firefox on Android supports uBlock Origin. DNS-level ad blockers (such as PiHole or NextDNS) are another good option.

    A blocking solution I've found very effective for android is dns based. It sets up a vpn connection and allows you to edit the host files that get listed on the device. https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66/releases https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66/releases

      Since Android 9 you can setup a DoH (DNS over HTTPS) even without the vpn loophole. The setting is called "Private DNS" and may be even more battery-preserving.

It's not just ads, but also poor design, JS-only sites, etc.
