the mobile browser landscape has become a minefield of invisible popover, redirect and premium service subscription, only partially mitigated by adblockers (or none at all if using chrome on ios, because, reasons)
I browse with Firefox for Android and a combination of the uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, and Cookies AutoDelete add-ons. Without them I'd feel almost naked.
Have you tried uMatrix by the author of uBlock Origin?
It takes getting used to but really allows you granular control of 3rd party requests on both a site-by-site and global basis.
Word of warning, most uMatrix users I've met say it becomes depressing to see how many 3rd party requests most websites require before they are even usable. It becomes very obvious very quickly.
Yesterday I had the opposite experience for the first time. I had uMatrix off, and I hit a paywall. When I turned it back on, I could read the article again! I think it was the Washington Post, but not entirely sure.
I am confused, that doesn't seem to be true. In FireFox for Android, I can select and copy both the address of the page that I'm on[0] and any particular link on the page[1], both by doing a long tap on the link/URL I wish to copy.
