    A perfect example for why having an adblocker is a necessity these days.

    This is why you want uBlock Origin:

    The internet has become unusable without an ad blocker. At this point, any browser that doesn’t include one is just a cybersecurity hazard. The NSA and CIA consider ad blockers a security measure, at least.

    I recommended you use an alternative browser like Samsung Internet, or a Chromium fork called Cromite (UI like Chrome but without Google services). They, along with Firefox, Edge etc. have ad blocker support.

    After finding one you like, go into Chrome’s app settings and click “Disable” in the middle, so Google Discover won’t force you to open in Chrome even if it’s not your default browser.

      With Firefox mobile now supporting plug-ins, it’s easily the best mobile browser. I think it’s the best desktop browser as well, but that’s more debatable.

        I tried it, but the best for me is Samsung Internet. I love that I can add tabs by holding the tab view button. It’s also quite customizable.
