> Have you tried entering in a common website from a mobile browser without an adblocker?
Not in a long time; Firefox Mobile with Adblock Plus makes the web far more usable on a phone.
The constraints of a mobile device make adblocking even more critical than on desktop systems. If a browser or mobile environment wanted to differentiate itself, it could pre-install and pre-configure an adblocker.
You could do it with a rooted phone and adfree android, which is like adblock plus but rewrites /etc/hosts to route all ad serving domains to localhost. This one simple trick convinces even ad supported apps that they are offline, and they cease to show ads.
I just avoid installing any apps that have ads in the first place. The only time I see ads is with the one app I use that embeds a WebView and loads webpages, many of which have ads.
