Ah, looks like you're on iOS, you should come over to Android, system-wide ad blocking is amazing.

Though I think there are options for iOS that are also system-wide

How do system wide ad blocking on Android?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

If you can, root and an app called AdAway (on f-droid)

I'm fairly certain AdAway can do the job without root, it's just not as efficient because it has to do some trickery with VPNs and stuff where as with root it can apply it's blocks directly to the system hosts file

Or use Arctic on iOS. This is what I see. Internal browser configured to use Reader by default. It's about 98% effective.
