That's more of an annoyance than an ad.

Two clicks after OS install is annoying?

We really are a privileged bunch aren't we =)

I think you misinterpreted the parent comment. The banner being shown in the screenshot is being described as an annoyance, not an ad.

Yeah, but now I have to manage on a per site basis about half a dozen different settings. I find it a necessary evil on mobile to control bandwidth usage, but on desktop I find it easier to just not visit or immediately leave low quality websites.

I use them on my desktop, too. There are none in this WebView embedded in this mobile app, though.
