What I want is adblock/ublock/ghostery for my phone... I swear it's worse than the popover/under ads in the 90's if you happen to click on the wrong clickbait article from your phone.
For that matter, just make browsers not allow an iframe within another iframe... that should reduce a lot of the problems with ad/tracking networks. What's really annoying are the ads that block content, but have the weird /A logo that you can click to report that the ad is used to block content...WTH.
The problem is the funding for the biggest browser is from an ad company, and a lot of the funding from one of the other largest is as well.

Doesn't Firefox on Android give you exactly that? I never used the Android version but at least with its Maemo predecessor the ability to use Adblock Plus et al. was a given and really good to have.
