I hate using mobile to read articles

Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.

Yay internet.

Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it's just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they're used to experiences on mobile browsing.

Mobile Firefox + Adblocker add on.

Ublock origin don't use adblock

Can confirm, mobile Firefox experience is amazing these days. There is a curated list of addons you can install, which includes uBlock Origin, but if you want access to every desktop extension, you can use Firefox Nightly.

Too crash prone for me. I use a foldable phone and it's a 50/50 chance of crashing when I'm transitioning from the cover screen to the inner screen. Even the stable version has dodgy foldable support.

I'm on a fold3 and it's never once crashed when moving to the inner screen?

Nightly or stable build? On stable it doesn't crash for me but the dodginess is when I'm transitioning from inner to cover screen and the layout will be stuck on the cover screen and I'll need to restart the app and it'll use the correct layout.

stable, app store version 117.1.0 on OneUI 5.1.1

I think the transitioning difficulties would be website dependant, but most work just fine seamlessly for me.

Nightly or Beta, with custom add-on collection
