Google is doing all the opposite: punishing all websites using pop-up or full-page ads in search results.

They're directly the reason that Chrome Mobile doesn't support extensions, the reason you have to put up with these ads.

Oh and a few years ago they banned ad blockers from the app store https://adblockplus.org/blog/adblock-plus-for-android-remove...

So every time you see a shitty horrible ad on mobile, the reason you have to watch it is 100% Google.

Extensions/add-ons were the #1 reason I switched from Chrome to Firefox on my mobile device. It supports uBlock Origin & others.

It's worth a try if you haven't done so lately.

Chrome still supports uBlock Origin, the Chrome Store doesn't.

Huh? Yes it does: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa...

I believe you mean Android and the Play Store, not Chrome and the Chrome Store.

Chrome on your mobile device?

Install ad block browser

Quite the opposite. If you have a site with Adsense and a good chunk of mobile trafic they recommend you to install ads for mobiles and there are options to show a banner fixed to the bottom of the screen and another to display an ad that takes all the screen. Google is really contradictory in that regard if you see what they recommend for adsense editor and what they said in the quality guidelines for search.
