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.
POV: you just opened a link someone posted on Lemmy via your mobile app.
Firefox + uBlock does wonders.
Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don’t have to suffer this rubbish!
uBlock isn’t going to block pop-ups that are from the website you’re visiting.
u probably donteven need an adblocker.
i bet there is a config to disable popups. (might break some legitimate use cases)
extremely unlikely u would see the trashiest trash if u just had a host blocker (firefox strict, ublock, umatrix, etc…)
Ublock origin is your friend
or use brave browserEdit: scratch that
So chrome with a skin on it?

Firefox is available for Android. You can install add-ons, like UBlock, just as you would on desktop
Firefox mobile is slow AF.
Never “UBlock” always use “UBlock Origin”.“UBlock origin” is way better(filters) than UBlock(which has an accepted ads program,also owned by Adblock Plus). Its available for Firefox android.
For more info on “UBlock” vs “UBlock origin” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#History
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.
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
Even the “story” is a fucking ad.
