I don’t use ublock origin and literally never browse the web from a computer but that sounds like a cool feature for sure
why don't you use it on your phone then, don't subject yourself to ads just because you don't use a computer.
I used AdGuard on my phone
on android i like using adaway (replaces adguard) + ublock origin on the browser. but its good to at least install ublock origin for full blocking in a browser.
Popup blockers aren't as satisfying as a browser plugin that adds a "Fuck Off" button to them.
How I sleep after clicking "continue without disabling ad blocker" knowing that pi-hole has my back on any device on my network.
Or my favourite passive aggressive attempt by Admiral's anti-ad-blocking "technology":
"Continue without supporting"
What's an ad-blocker popup? uBlock Origin never show me a popup.
I use uBO and still sometimes get on-page popups. "Modals" would be the correct word, I'd say.
Do you have uBO annoyances lists enabled? Because I never get any.
Interesting. Nope. Does it break anything unintentionally, like logins and such?
I've never experienced any breakage.
Like one of these:
I went to cnn to try and didn't have any. I couldn't find the exact article in your screen but I tried a few without any popup.
Did you enable uBO annoyances lists?
I just grabbed that screenshot from a google image search, just to show you what I meant
