I swear to god, the day people finally realize they can actually block ads, we're going to have a massive collapse of the industry. Fear that day.

The lack of adblock options on mobile Safari and Chrome has to be a massive boon and a huge relief to advertisers. You can get third-party browsers that have some adblocking features, but I suspect the percentage of people on mobile who use them is in the low single digits.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

AdBlock is available for Chrome and works just fine. I don't know about Safari.

I'm talking about mobile Safari and mobile Chrome. Neither supports extensions, and neither has integrated ad blocking. And while you can get third party browsers that do adblock, they're somewhat crippled in that only Safari has the Nitro javascript engine. All other browsers pay a performance tax.
