> The adblocker is worse than ublock origin (eg. try to google Kindle)

Could you elaborate on this? Granted I'm using ublock origin only on Desktop, but I'm still kinda confused what's the issue there for you because for me ublock mostly does what it's supposed to and when it doesn't it's usually an issue of "not blocking enough".

That is exactly the issue, focus doesn't block enough. I am not at home so I cannot give you a visual comparison but when googling "Kindle" with ublock origin the first link I see is to the Amazon website, while on focus I see 3 big ads that require me to scroll down to see the search results. Obviously this is a constructed example but there are other websites (I can't remember which exactly) with lots of ads that origin doesn't block.
