On mobile?

Apart from a few geeks using firefox on android, mobile browsers generally dont hinder ads

Every single browser except Chrome would be a better way to put it.
AdGuard on iOS blocks ads just fine. I pay $5 a year because then it blocks YouTube ads.
Samsung Browser and Safari both very much enable ad blocking, and especially Samsung actively notifies users to enable it.
There have been lots of complaints about a well-funded advertising campaign from Hobby Lobby called "He Gets Us". App users are getting DMs from the advertiser and are unable to block the adverts or user. Other advertisers are blockable, which stops those ads.
You can install an ad filter, set up content filtering, and then use Safari without seeing ads.
Brave browser.
