Apologies to those unfortunate enough to be forced to use a phone hotspot.
I never see ads or popups anywhere, even here, using uBlock Origin and Firefox on Linux Mint. uBO tells me it is blocking 6 ads right now, the same as usual. I don't track my download numbers; connect via Comcast cable.
I think the point is that some internet home plans besides phone hotspots also limit usage so the bandwidth for the site is going to factor in regardless.
