    Too many ads and bad UX? Right. This article is a great example for both: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aras/110846684099110476

      I honestly don’t know how most people surf on mobile.

      I have Pi-hole and Firefox blocking ads, and even then… I still have to do some custom blocking just to read some content.

      Firefox with uBlock Origin makes mobile usable, but I don’t know how people use other browsers that don’t allow extensions.
