I was so up for reading that but holy crap the interface on my phone browser.

Like I don't actually mind ads at all, if they're streamed in like the other content and offered as an option. I don't even mind flashy graphics that try to grab my attention. Fair play.

But this idea that because I clicked the bait that I'm gonna stick around to watch an ad or deal with a pop-up that I have to wait for it to load... We can't live like this.

I’m sure there’s a better solution someone here can point to, but I just use the AdGuard DNS which filters most ads out on mobile

I run pi-hole, not sure why it's failing to deal with that. Probably I ain't configured it right. Networks not my strong suit.

But FFS do we really have to exist in perpetual war with our sources of information for the rest of our lives?

I saw no ads or popups or flashy graphics on my iphone with the safari adguard extension.
