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.

Whenever I see someone's computer who doesn't use adblocker it blows my mind. I can't imagine going back to that shit.

I put dns.adguard.com on their browsers and phones.
