I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don't belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren't installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian.

I think the worst ads are the text to speech ones that say "Download this app today". The unblinking energenic people saying you can make a living at home are probably a close second.

Firefox with uBlock origin, setting your DNS to "DNS.adguard.com", and using ReVanced with MicroG for YouTube has worked best for me on a non-rooted phone.
