Default Ad Blocker

What ad blockers to you guys use for your Android phone?
Suddenly I keep getting sent to annoying ad pages. Cannot back out of them and have to go to the homepage and start over.
Arrrrgh!

Get that here at HDF when using my phone. Annoying as hell. I have my desktop covered but the phone is still an issue.

Looking for answers as well.

I was going to install Adblock Plus but it wanted a laundry list of permissions that it didn't really need. Nope.

Default Update

Was using Chrome on my phone for browsing.
Installed Adblocker plus and it did not solve the problem.
Installed Firefox for browsing and so far, so good.
Knock wood!!
I have used Firefox on my desktop computer for years and years too.

It seems not many are aware of UBlock. After Adware kind of sold out it suffered as a product. UBlock is very effective and does not seem to cause any issues . I have used it for a couple years now.

It probably is Javascript. Javascript is often used by hackers. Unfortunate a lot of websites use Javascript and may not work is it is disabled. You can disable Javascript in your web browsers. Just do a search on the web for "how to disable Javascript on your xxxxx". You can turn it back on for web sites that you want to use.

I started using the "Brave" browser on my Android and I get zero pop ups now. It is very annoying and frustrating
