I cannot understand how some people are living with this. It is unbearable

All the better to track you with so you have no choice but to agree and agree to their arbitration clauses if you want to use their and their competitors' products with no alternative to avoid it. Sometimes you can't even use the mobile site when so many services and businesses have flat out broken their mobile sites just to force the app. I don't like DuckDuckGo's browser but I use it to block trackers in the background.

This is correct. I use ddg for the same reason, and the "Desktop site" option for those little shits that broke their mobile site to force the app. If that option doesn't work, I leave the site.

I found that Firefox mobile with adblocker solves 100% of my advlock issues, and usually fixes format and display issues with websites. Half the websites I view on chrome mobile don't even fit on my screen anymore!

Last time I tried ff mobile, it was sluggish, and had no extensions. I'm guessing they fixed those issues? I like ddg mobile browser well enough, but I'd love to use ff on my mobile, too. And, yes, I did notice those formatting issues. I thought it was just bad design, but it's the chrome engine? Interesting. Not at all surprising, though, but interesting.
