Honestly, I can't really browse on my phone anymore. I'm... spoiled by FF + uBlock and I can't tolerate all the distractions.

Will we ever get enough traction on either blocking mechanisms or stop shoving ads everywhere? Will the general public experience the pleasures of an ad-less internet?

P.S. I'm on an iPhone, blockers failed me so far. Thanks for the suggestions fellas.

Firefox Mobile + uBlock works great for me.

FF Mobile has uBlock

This is honestly one of the first time I'm convinced in a technical sense to consider Firefox over Chrome. uBlock Origin feels as core to me to web browsing as Saved Passwords and Incognito Mode. That uBlock Origin can work better is like the browser itself being better.

Blokada for Android is a pretty good DNS-based ad blocker.

Posting this from my oneplus running firefox and ublock origin. Firefox has been my daily driver on mobile for a few years now (since before Quantum) and it's been reliably great.

Anymore? I don't think browsing on a phone was ever viable. The problems changed over time, but I never found myself using the browser for anything other than absolute necessity. It's sad really.

Back in the day Opera with Turbo (or whatever it was called) was the peak of mobile browser usability for me.
