I had completely forgotten about WAP, but i remember using a WAP browser of some sort on an old Sybmian Nokia now i think about it. Before add-ons worked with Firefox mobile (and I could install ublock), browsing the web on a phone was awful. If i remember it was around the time that AMP launched in 2015 that Firefox mobile got add-on support. So there was certainly a problem more recently that 15 years ago. The adverts on news sites were so bad that AMP was able to make mobile pages clearly better from a UX point of view. But that was largely a problem of Googles own making, and their "generous" fix was obviously stacked in their favour. All users needed was the ability to install an ad-blocker on their mobile browser, but of course Google was never going to allow that for Chrome.
