I have no Adblock on my phone and it’s unbelievable how many ads some sites put up.

Many times I have to hunt for the second half of the article past five or six full image ads and sponsored content.

This feels like a death spiral - the more Adblock the more ads they’ll put up to get seen by a smaller segment of users.

Firefox for Android supports uBlock Origin. Works great, highly recommended.

iPhone solutions seem less advanced, unfortunately, but they exist. Personally I use one called "Adblock Pro," but that's not an endorsement, just the one I tried that has stuck.

Adguard for Safari does the trick for Safari on both iOS and macOS.

I've tried others, and they don't seem to do much. Adguard works as well as uBO 90% of the time.

I only see a difference when visiting actual malicious sites, like pirated sports streams, where Adguard might occasionally lets a pop-under through.
