   Yup. uBlock Origin in my Android Firefox app takes out those ads too.

   But uBlock Origin also screws up some sites, financial and investment for   
    example where I enter data as well as read it. And in my browsers it's not   
    easy to switch on and off. But JavaScript on/off and the Reader View button   
    accomplish the same result with your site and others so I thought I'd pass   
    it along for folks who hadn't tried it.   
      
   Bottom line as always: YMMV...
