    It’s genuinely insufferable. I have plenty of ad block on my pc but little on my phone. When I’m doing stuff on my phone it’s sometimes impossible to navigate certain news sites or watch videos because of all the fucking ads.

      There are a couple of VPNs with built-in DNS blocking for advertisements. Athena is a solution that uses your phone’s VPN functionality to route traffic served from known ad networks into a digital brick wall like Roadrunner baiting Wile E. Coyote into a painted tunnel.

      Seconding Ad Guard and Firefox with uBlock origin, that’s what I use and I see minimal ads unless ad guard isn’t running

      What browser/OS? There are many options on mobile, from extensions to system wide DNS blocking.

      I use NextDNS for my phone (pihole in my house) as the service can block ads on any device. I think I pay $20/y for it, and that’s worth it to me.
