> at least in Edge, I can disable javascript

Note that you can also do this in Chrome: Settings/Site settings/JavaScript.

If you're looking for another way to block ads on mobile, DNS66 works pretty well for me, and it's FOSS IIRC (obviously it doesn't get everything, there's only so much a DNS-based blocker can do, but it catches most ads except YouTube's in my experience).

I did look fairly hard about how to disable JS in Chrome on Android, but didn't see it. I'll give it another look.

I do use DNS blocking on my home PC, and yes, it works great, but obviously that is a moving target, especially if you don't actively maintain it.

I'm not familiar with DNS66 - I'll give it a closer look later tonight.

A search for "android chrome disable JavaScript" gave me this as the instructions on how to do so.
