Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.

Yay internet.

Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they’re used to experiences on mobile browsing.

    Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don’t have to suffer this rubbish!

      uBlock isn’t going to block pop-ups that are from the website you’re visiting.

        u probably donteven need an adblocker.
        i bet there is a config to disable popups. (might break some legitimate use cases)

        The EU Digital markets Act will eventually be fixing that, for better or worse.

        Mozilla are already working on an iOS port apparently, just need Apple to (begrudgingly) open the doors.

            Still better then the dumpster fire of nonupdated and unoptimized androids. I bet my old iphone 8 plus still feels smoother with 2GB ram then the new pixel

        I use Firefox and Firefox Klar which integrates into Firefox on iOS. I see no ads.

        Safari on iOS supports extensions. Chrome on Android does not. But hey, keep telling yourself that Google are better than Apple at this.

          Who cares about Google? Chrome is trash. You don’t understand that in the Android world I can install infinite different browsers. I am not dependent on what one company allows. Must be hard to understand for an Apple brain.
