Sorry but this page and site have the most obnoxious number of ads on almost any page I've ever seen. After reading a couple of paragraphs I closed the window, no content is worth subjecting myself to that many ads and trying to navigate which is real content and which isn't.

Firefox + ublock origin and voilĂ , no more ads.
I can't fathom how anyone uses the web without an ad blocker these days. Especially shocking to hear on HN.
Don't forget a pihole! Sometimes I really do forget how obnoxious the internet is until I try to look at a website when I'm outside of my ad free setup at home. Which in a way keeps me from browsing around websites on my phone and wasting time in that way.
ublock Origin works decently well on Firefox on Android. I think I saw that something worked on iPhones, but I never investigated it myself.
I have an old iPhone 14 Pro and I haven't been able to get too much working as far as adblocking outside of the pihole. Firefox for iPhone is bad and Mozilla has committed to simply not fixing it. But I want my bookmark sync so I'm stuck.
Isn't Firefox on the iPhone just a Safari skin? Unless you're in the EU and Japan, all web browsers on the iPhone have to use Webkit.
