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
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.
Safari also has reader mode.
Safari also supports content blockers. They are not as powerful as uBlock Origin on Firefox, but still better than nothing.
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?
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.
By default? I had to install an addon called “Dark reader”.
By default
I’ve looked and don’t see that setting. Where did you find it? Are you on Android or Apple?
That’s the dark mode in reader mode. You need dark reader for actual dark mode for websites
Ah. Many thanks.
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
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
Ublock origin.
not Ublock.
Ublock is scam software.
Firefox mobile is slow AF.
