I don’t have this issue at all, but I also don’t really “surf” the web so much as cycle through a handful of regular sites like CP and Reddit.

Stop looking at porn on your phone.
Use the computers at the library for that.

Cell phone apps are just as bad. When I'm on my PC behind linux or even windows OS it's a very straightforward interaction. On the same businesses cell phone app it's a mess of trying to navigate through AI ads and customer service.
I'm >< close to going back to my Rugby flip phone, and buying a Android tablet for when I need access on the road. I work from home 90% of the time since the pandemic and between phone apps and ads I just don't need the frustration. |

Many of these companies make it as unpleasant as possible to use a web browser because they want you download their stupid apps instead. I prefer a web browser as well so I gravitate towards sites that don’t discourage me from doing so by intentionally sucking.

Ironically the porn sites have the LEAST amount of shit and no pop ups.
I have an LG K92 5G. It's fast and nice screen size.

Itcs not as bad on a laptop but I see some growing bullshit there too. Fox News website is abysmal, the worst of the big media sites. I don't visit it anymore.

I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G that is only 1.5 years old. In the past few months, Samsung has forced about 4-5 updates. I used to get onto CP and also Phog.net with nary a problem. But once they started doing these updates, my phone would sometimes lock up on these forums while scrolling up or down. I don't know what is the cause but it is really irritating. With the last update, it will freeze (not react to any input) but usually only for a few seconds and then it will allow me to scroll again. That's an improvement but still not back to normal.

Doesn't sound like a normal experience. I tried Fox News and got one "try the app" thing and then going into articles I see an Amazon ad every 2 or 3 paragraphs.
If yours is significantly worse than that, either your browser sucks and you need to use a new one, or you have some kind of pop-up malware or something (and the most thorough way to fix that would be a factory reset if you have an easy way to backup/restore numbers and stuff).

I've stopped using it on my phone except to post updates/pics... same experience as scho, you might see one update from a friend and then 3 or 4 ads or suggested sites, etc. For a while I'd x each of them and then it seemed to clear up the next day, but only browse on desktop now (if at all).
It was nice way back when you could just set it to see all updates in chronological order... what a concept that was.
