Mobile users (or other locked down devices where adblockers are forbidden) are still a decent chunk of traffic. It's much easier to just read the overview and not click through to the ad infestation, or even use a chatbot of choice as the search engine instead of going to Google, because "websites is how you get spammed with ads".

Just say Apple. They're still allowed on Android, although I don't think you can get them from the Play Store.

They didn’t “just say Apple” because it wouldn’t be true. What gives you the impression ad blockers don’t work on Apple mobile devices?

The part where you are forbidden from using a web browser that isn't Safari (Chrome + FF use Safari under the hood) without jailbreaking the phone?

On my Android phone, I installed Firefox. It synced my extensions and installed uBlock automatically. That was it.

The last time I tried on iOS, I gave up. The adblockers I found didn't really work, they were painful to install, and the platform is so locked down that I couldn't figure out other options.

Not allowed on my work computer. Which I do use the internet on.

Also you can put ad block on Apple devices.

Ublock origin is a Firefox extension that works on mobile. You don't need a dedicated app for blocking adverts.

Not on iOS, there Firefox is actually Safari under the hood and you can’t use extensions… Haven’t found a good solution yet (other than avoiding websites with ads)

Wipr2; paid for Safari but it works on all Apple devices with that one payment.
