If blocking ads in Chrome is proving unreliable, switching to a privacy-focused browser like Brave or Firefox Focus can be a game-changer. Brave blocks ads and trackers right out of the box no extra configuration needed.
Firefox Focus is even more stripped down and optimized for minimal distraction. They’re also much lighter on older devices.
Many in the dev and QA communities prefer using these browsers on mobile to avoid noise when testing content-heavy websites. They also help reduce bandwidth usage, which is great for home Wi-Fi.
