If you go to Options > Filter Lists > Annoyances and check mark the following items:

  "AdGuard – Annoyances"
  "EasyList – Annoyances"
  "uBlock filters – Annoyances"

You will get rid of 99.9% of website annoyances without affecting any main functionality of websites.

I've been doing this on every fresh install of Chrome for years. Works wonders.

There really are two different version of the internet, and which one you use depends on how how well your ad blockers are configured.

I was using my mom's laptop over the holidays, and it took me a minute to realize why every site I visited looked so _different_. What I quickly realised is almost every site I visited was wallpapered in ads: banners between every paragraph, sidebars full of ads, and background images selling things. A lot of sites were unrecognizable from what I was used to.

What are people using on their phones these days for ad blocking? (iphone specifically). I absolutely cannot stand any mobile website ever- it's insanity.

uBlock Origin of course, what else? Running on Firefox (Nightly).

>(iphone specifically)

If you want an iPhone, you shouldn't complain about ads. If you want to block ads, get an Android. If Apple wanted you to block ads, they'd build a good ad-blocker into their phone. They don't, and they forcibly prevent you from using a different browser and ad-blocker, so obviously they want you to view ads.
