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).

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.

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.
