Holy fuck, that site displays full page ad on top of the page and when you scroll down, it scrolls back up. After certain time you can scroll down.

Firefox for Android allows extensions, you can use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin...

If your phone is a rooted Android, you can also use a hostfile that blacklists many ad servers, such as https://adaway.org/

On iOS, "Content Blockers" for Safari can be used for ad blocking, and there is plenty of choice in the App Store.

I just hit back when the ads are too obnoxious. It isn't worth it to me.

Blocking all 3rd-party content helps. Even the scripts aren't necessary.

uMatrix and http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ have completely replaced dedicated adblockers for me.

Well, there are some things that some adblockers do that umatrix doesn't:

Selector-based DOM element removal/hiding and blocking of specific requests by URL instead of by domain

I don't mind the ad, but the other complaint doesn't seem to be true. You must have clicked on the scroll-to-the top icon.
