Have you ever surfed the web on mobile, without and ad blocker?

Mobile really is far worse than desktop web without a blocker, especially on Chrome on Android compared to my previous iOS or Windows Phones. I'd never seen so many driveby attempts to install crappy software.

The desktop web is still a horrible experience, especially on slow connections or slow computers. Turn off adblock, open the inspector and you'll see ads consuming >90% of bandwidth, memory and CPU, even on mainstream sites. It really is an absurd situation.

That was one of the driving factors that made me switch to firefox (from chrome): I can use uBlock on mobile now.
