It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won't let people say "no" to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new "features", only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They'll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn't really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

Going sans ad-block is depressing. Even things like local news sites, it's just pop, cookies, pop agree to this bullshit, pop, download the app, then you get in and are scrolling past adverts three screens long.

Like who wants to read stories about potholes and stabbings so much they'd put up with that shit?

Fandom "wikis" are unusable on mobile. The text you are trying to fucking read is constantly jumping around because the next shitty ad and autoplay video is loading. Just look at the user experience:

I still don't care about cookies + block EU cookie filter list works great for me. It even deals with this annoying YT cookie screen. And if I visit often and something dodged those, I just block it manually. Must sites don't update the elements often (or never lol)

I couldn't find many useful add-ons for Firefox Mobile. Just uBlock Origin.

I find uBO with good filter lists enough, but you can add custom addon list in dev mod, I'll edit with link soon
