I'm already inundated with endless popups, advertisements, surveys, and other requests when I browse the web on my mobile device.

I don't want to have to do that for everyday living too.

Hate sounding like an ad myself but the builtin adblocker on Brave is a lifesaver for cleaning up shitty mobile sites (ie, almost all of them).

Not looking forward to have to whitelist the programs being side-loaded into my VR interface so I don't get giant modal popups blocking my entire universe.

> modal popups

How about modal NPC bystanders blocking your way, forcing you to notice some commercial signage. You will be a targeted individual in meta!

I look forward to my sketchy Billboard blocker that uses my spare neural electricity to mine Monero after its developer gets hacked.

Firefox on Android has uBlock origin, works well for me.
