Even better: system-wide DNS adblocking on Android. Get rid of in-app ads too.

Blocking ads on Firefox after popups and other crap started: 😀
Browsing the internet on Android before I realised the browser supports addons: 🤮

I use a degoogled CalyxOS phone so all those apps that load ads via Google services don’t even work, or they work and the ads don’t load haha. One caveat is that I can’t use paid apps either though, I’m not against those.

There are a couple of steps missing at the beginning. There was a time when we only blocked popups; other types of ad were fine, but popups were annoying enough that they needed special attention, and the popup-blocker was usually built-in to the browser without needing an extension. It took a couple of years for the non-popup types of ads to become obnoxious enough to warrant blocking.
