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.

Firefox is available for Android. You can install add-ons, like UBlock, just as you would on desktop

[-] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 96 points 9 months ago

Also Firefox gives you reading mode which gives you well formatted text without distracting images or ads.

Sometimes help you to circumvent site registration and read the article.

Also supports dark mode.

That this is needed, is sad. Not because of ads but feature creep in the web standards.

Chromium browsers offer 'simplified view for web pages'. In the accessibility settings . It does not work on all page though.

But yeah, just use Firefox or one of it's forks like Mull

[-] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Chromium offering is limited, mixes text from article with some other text, sometimes made stuff completely unreadable.

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Agreed, but it can be useful sometimes. For instance, I'm writing this in the Voyager app, if I tap a link it will open it in Mulch. I also have UntrackMe, with that I can use any app for the link. The simplified view can also sometimes work when an app uses Android System Webview as it's browser engine.

Safari also supports content blockers. They are not as powerful as uBlock Origin on Firefox, but still better than nothing.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

supports dark mode.

By default? I had to install an addon called "Dark reader".

[-] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago
[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I've looked and don't see that setting. Where did you find it? Are you on Android or Apple?

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

That's the dark mode in reader mode. You need dark reader for actual dark mode for websites

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ah. Many thanks.

[-] ironsoap@lemmy.one 2 points 9 months ago

The last Firefox on android that really worked for me with the about:reader?url=http://... Ability to force pages into it was 68, which I keep around for that reason.

Can 117 do it on all pages?

[-] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 9 months ago

Most pages. You click the button on the right hand side of the address bar when it's visible and it'll always work. On some pages the button is hidden, so I'm guessing those don't have an obvious way to format for reader mode.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Still works for me. Sometimes I have to hit refresh after putting it in reader mode to load the entire article.

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 45 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Never "UBlock" always use "UBlock Origin"."UBlock origin" is way better(filters) than UBlock(which has an accepted ads program,also owned by Adblock Plus). Its available for Firefox android.

For more info on "UBlock" vs "UBlock origin" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#History

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ublock origin.

not Ublock.

Ublock is scam software.

[-] GregorTacTac@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Firefox mobile is slow AF.
