Apologies as this is off topic, but does anyone have suggestions for how to minimize the extremely intrusive advertising that kind of ruins reading articles like these? 2/3rds of my mobile screen is covered with ads. If it matters I’m on iOS and use Chrome for my default mobile browser. I’m aware of the privacy implications of those choices.
It’s not as good as a real adblocker but you can install “ad guard” from the app store (you have to enable it in settings -> safari -> content blockers)
You can use DNS based adblock, but this tends to break on public WiFi networks.
One other option is to use brave as a web browser. It’s a chrome derivative with a built in adblock. Most browser extensions don’t work on iOS so there’s not many options.
I am not sure if this works with Chrome on iOS but there is an app called Hush (yellow icon with face having tape over mouth) that works with Safari to get rid of popups. I’ve not had it very long but I tried it on this article and had no pop ups.

Firefox with uBlock Origin or Rethink DNS on Android cab block ads, the best you can do on iOS is DNS adblocking with something like Adguard
If you’re open to switching browser, try out brave, it has built-in adblock
