I don’t have an adblocker on my phone, so maybe I’m to blame but holy crap, the number of ads on that page are the opposite of “normal human consumption.”

  a) Just out of interest, why no adblocker? b) I just checked with everything disabled, I got 2 small ads over the whole thread, what did you get?

    He probably got a whole bunch of ads spanning the entire page, talking about Affinity Photo.

    > a) Just out of interest, why no adblocker? they cost money on iPhone.

      Downloading and running ad code costs more money than just paying and installing an ad blocker, especially since they're incredibly cheap if not free.

      AdGuard is quite usable without subscription.

      You can install Firefox Focus and select that as an adblocker for Safari. Alternatively, DuckDuckGo has an iOS browser with built-in adblocker.

        According to they AppStore description, DuckDuckGo only blocks trackers. Doesn’t say anything about adblocking.

      You can't afford a one time purchase of $1.99 for Wipr on your iPhone ?
