Sounds like you don't use the modern-day condom: uBlock Origin.

I live in Europe (famous place for becoming professional banner clicker) and I didn't get one single distraction.

I am on mobile, I should have said that.

ublock origin works on mobile in Firefox, Waterfox, etc.

There is Brave with its blocker, there is AdGuard, which blocks ads on websites and applications, regardless of the browser.
