Mobile users (or other locked down devices where adblockers are forbidden) are still a decent chunk of traffic. It's much easier to just read the overview and not click through to the ad infestation, or even use a chatbot of choice as the search engine instead of going to Google, because "websites is how you get spammed with ads".
- pocksuppet 7mo ago> Mobile users (or other locked down devices where adblockers are forbidden) Just say Apple. They're still allowed on Android, although I don't think you can get them from the Play Store.
- vineyardmike 7mo agoNot allowed on my work computer. Which I do use the internet on. Also you can put ad block on Apple devices.
- mikestew 7mo agoThey didn’t “just say Apple” because it wouldn’t be true. What gives you the impression ad blockers don’t work on Apple mobile devices?
- SR2Z 7mo agoThe part where you are forbidden from using a web browser that isn't Safari (Chrome + FF use Safari under the hood) without jailbreaking the phone? On my Android phone, I installed Firefox. It synced my extensions and installed uBlock automatically. That was it. The last time I tried on iOS, I gave up. The adblockers I found didn't really work, they were painful to install, and the platform is so locked down that I couldn't figure out other options.
