Mobile users (or other locked down devices where adblockers are forbidden) are still a decent chunk of traffic. It's much easier to just read the overview and not click through to the ad infestation, or even use a chatbot of choice as the search engine instead of going to Google, because "websites is how you get spammed with ads".

Just say Apple. They're still allowed on Android, although I don't think you can get them from the Play Store.

Ublock origin is a Firefox extension that works on mobile. You don't need a dedicated app for blocking adverts.
