Ad blockers don't work on phones, which is increasingly the medium of consumption.

  Brave works just fine on phones...

  Ad blockers currently work on Android devices[1][2][3][4], preferably by gaining root on the device and using a de-Googled Android, using F-Droid[1] and/or manually installing packages with FFUpdater[1]. If you really have to use Apple devices and other post-general-purpose-computing locked down devices (e.g. televisions), you could try self-hosting privaxy[5][6] (or similar) which performs MITM manipulation of web traffic to remove ads, including via JS or CSS injection.

    On android, just use firefox. Pretty enjoyable if you just switch to firefox everywhere.
