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.

    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 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.

      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
