On a separate note it's sad to see Phoronix so poorly represented. More than half my screen is fixed on page ads and popover. This is 1999 levels of dumb.

I've disabled UBO to see what you're talking about and... Wow. Browsing without ad blockers is just a deal breaker for me now, on a workstation or mobile.

(I block ads on Android using Firefox/UBO, and on the iPad using Brave).

Curious. I opened it in chromium to see what it looks like without the adblocker, I declined all the tracking it asked for (violating the GDPR by the way), and I see no ads of any sort.

Still way easier to have an adblock/consent-o-matic disable it for you, but it seems like it only shows you ads if you actually agreed to them.

I must have agreed to them in the past, I don't use consent-o-matic and manually accept/decline in a chaotic, ad-hoc manner. Just installed it, thanks.

I use Brave, but on mobile I enjoy the Harmony app and it has a simplistic ad blocker that probably can't work very well because Google.
